Shotover Canyon Combo

Highlights / General details

See the Shotover River from every angle as you take on the Shotover Canyon Combo - The ultimate Shotover experience!

Perched high on the edge of a cliff sits the Shotover Canyon Swing, a purpose built swing that boasts over 70 jump styles and a 60m free-fall before swinging out in a 200m arc. The atmosphere is electric and the adrenalin rush guaranteed as you take the leap from the platform mounted 109m above the Shotover River.

Then check out the canyon walls from water level at speeds of up to 85kms per hour on the world famous Shotover Jet. Feel the rush of wind in your hair as you whip past the rocky outcrops and spin 360 in the big red boats.

Take to the skies on a roller coaster helicopter ride to see the Shotover River from above, before landing in the remote Skippers Canyon section of the river. Top it all off by taking on the white water as you raft down the rapids to end your Shotover adventure!
