Just add water to your Queenstown trip with some kayaking, rafting, canyoning or a river surfing experience.

Explore creeks, streams and pools as you climb, swim, slide, jump and abseil your way through a spectacular canyon, or hire a kayak from Queenstown Bay and explore the shoreline from the water.

Or, embark on a rafting trip with experienced guides for a half-day on the Kawarau or Shotover rivers, or even a multi-day extravaganza of outdoorsiness. There’s even river surfing for one of the most adventurous experiences you can have on a river.
