Gibbston Valley Canyoning with Self Drive from Queenstown

Fuel your sense of adventure with an action-packed three-hour canyoning experience in the spectacular Gibbston Valley. This self-drive adventure gives you the freedom to explore the region at your own pace while taking on an unforgettable guided canyoning journey through one of Queenstown’s most exciting outdoor playgrounds. Your adventure begins with a short 10-minute walk into the canyon before gearing up for up to two hours immersed in the action in your wetsuit. Designed as the perfect introduction to canyoning, this experience is suitable for beginners, non-swimmers who are comfortable in water, and those with a lower level of fitness. No previous canyoning experience is needed.

Led by expert guides from Canyoning New Zealand, you’ll navigate towering stone walls, power through flowing canyon sections, and slide down incredible natural waterslides carved into the rock. Build your confidence as you step over the edge for your first abseil, then continue deeper into the canyon surrounded by rushing water and dramatic scenery. With the flexibility of a self-drive experience, you’ll also have time to discover more of Gibbston Valley before or after your canyoning trip. Explore the famous Gibbston Valley Winery, stop by the local tavern, or take in the stunning scenery surrounding the Kawarau River.
