This social, active and authentic 4 hour adventure activity suitable for all ages is perfect for families and beginners with no prior experience. We keep our group ratios low in order to tailor every trip to individual needs. Choose from a variety of climbs from easy low angle routes suitable for beginners to ultra challenging routes for experienced climbers which include heart-stopping overhangs.

Rock Climbing – Full Day
Enjoy a full day rock climbing extravaganza where you will learn useful basic techniques gleaned from your Introduction Day in an isolated and visually stunning location. You won’t encounter any crowds and will have ample time to tackle the rocks.

Experienced rock climbers will also benefit from this experience as they are free to upgrade their skills by learning or participating in multi pitch climbing, hard sport climbing, natural protection climbing or any other particular rock climbing activity. Consult one of the friendly staff members to design your own private excursion.

Abseil – Half Day
The physical and mental challenges of abseiling are considerable, but they also make abseiling one of the most fulfilling outdoor activities available. You will have control over how quickly or how slowly you descend, and no matter what speed you abseil at you will feel great excitement as you travel towards Queenstown’s backyard. No prior experience is needed and you will receive full instruction from knowledgeable and experienced guides.

Mountaineering – Full Day Remarkables Expedition
The jagged peaks of the Remarkables towering over Queenstown are an iconic sight. Guided climbs originating in Queenstown that take you up Single and Double Cone, the Remarkables’ highest peaks, are available in both summer and winter. Experience incredible views as you revel in the satisfaction of conquering the mighty mountains. Day trips last over 8 hours and all fitness levels and levels of ability can be catered to.
