For some, leaping off a cliff edge and plummeting at breakneck speeds to the ground before being swung back in the air can sound like the ultimate adventure. If you are of that mindset then the Shotover Canyon Swing, Theme Park in Queenstown is most definitely for you! Before taking this “leap of faith” as it were, look to find accommodation at a Queenstown hotel which lets you easily head to such sites of interest. A luxury hotel Queenstown that not only provides easy access to the city but its many outdoor sites of interest too, Millennium Hotel Queenstown is well worth considering.

Located around a 15 minute drive from Queenstown, the Shotover Canyon Swing is positioned on a cliff above the famous Shotover River. Similar yet different from bungy jumping, the swing is launched from a height of approximately 109 metres and takes you on a breathtaking “drop” that can reach speeds of up to 150 kilometres per hour with canyons and rocky surfaces all around and in front of you. Have no fear however, for the Shotover Canyon Swing will indeed “swing” you to safety. There are a variety of jump styles for you to try and one can be assured of a pulse-pounding ride that will have you literally screaming in delight.
