Shotover Canyon Swing is the world's highest swing.
We have built a platform on the edge of a cliff 109m/360ft above the Shotover River. At the platform you are fitted into a seat and chest safety harness and connected to the jump ropes.
This harnessing configuration keeps your arms and legs free throughout the journey and enabling you to safely depart the platform in any position imaginable.
Gravity does the rest.
HOW IT WORKS
Upon departing from the platform you'll have a pure freefall of 60m/200ft into the canyon before the ropes smoothly pendulum you to a giant swing arc of 200m/650ft at 150kph. The freefall/swing journey is so smooth you'll barely notice when you've finished freefalling and begun your swing. After a number of swings across the canyon we'll winch you swiftly back up to the platform.
With over 10 different jumpstyles we can expertly manage the scariness for everyone – from knitting nanas to adrenaline junkies.
OPENING TIMES
Operates 7 days per week except Christmas Day.
Times: 9.30am, 11.00am, 12.00pm, 2.00pm & 3.00pm
