Shotover is the real thing. Grade 3-5 rapids, a 170m tunnel you ride through in the dark, and a coach trip along Skippers Canyon that'll have your knuckles white before you even hit the water. Promo code RANKERS gets you 10% off, which helps soften the cost a bit and keeps us going here at Rankers too.
With only one review to go on so far, it's glowing. Travellers are singling out the guides by name, which is always a good sign. A knowledgeable, upbeat guide makes a big difference on a river like this.
The Shotover suits people who want proper whitewater, not a gentle float. Fourteen kilometres of canyon terrain and mountain scenery, with the tunnel as the standout moment. If you're weighing this up against other Queenstown adventures, this one tends to stick with people.
Join us on the iconic Shotover River for a whitewater rapid adventure. Start with an unforgettable coach trip through Skippers Canyon, famous for its exciting cliff edges, enough to get your adrenaline pumping before we hit the water. Experience grade 3–5 whitewater rapids in one of the most scenic environments in the world. The rapids can change on a daily basis but rest assured our guides are expertly trained and have a keen sense of adventure. They will guide you through canyons and help you navigate rapids. To finish, you'll ride through the famous 170m Oxenbridge tunnel.
