About This Experience
Standing on the edge of Shotover Canyon, 109 metres above the rocky gorge below, you'll question every life choice that brought you to this moment. The Shotover Canyon Swing isn't just another jump — it's a three-second freefall that'll make your stomach relocate to somewhere near your throat, followed by a massive pendulum swing that sends you arcing through one of New Zealand's most dramatic canyons at 150km/h. This is the highest cliff jump in the country, and trust me, you feel every single metre of that drop.
