The New Zealand adrenaline pack is the perfect option if you are on a reasonably tight budget but still want to experience some the most fun and mental adrenaline activities in Queenstown during the New Zealand Adrenaline Tour. The adrenaline pack includes the shotover Canyon swing, which is billed as the world’s highest cliff jump, Jet Boating in the Shot Over Canyon and a massive 15,000 ft skydive.
The Shot Over Canyon Swing.
You have to have a huge testicles (that includes you girls) to do the shotover Canyon swing. Made famous by the likes of Jack Osbourne on his adrenaline junkie program the shotover Canyon swing is alleged perched high above the shotover Canyon which you can jump off in one of many different jump styles, the rush is immense but probably not the highlight of doing the jump. It’s the team that makes it such a great laugh, be warned they will wind you up something chronic. Take a look at this video and you’ll see what we mean.
Shot Over Jet Boat
Once you have done the shotover Canyon swing, which in fairness is probably the scariest of all of the options on the New Zealand adrenaline pack, you then get to blast through the shotover Canyon on thousand horsepower jet boat. These things are insane. They can go through 20 cm of water and war blast through the Canyon at ridiculously high speeds. You will miss sheer rock walls by only inches with the skilled pilots giving you the thrill ride of your life.
15000 ft Sky Dive
The final activity on the adrenaline pack is the world’s greatest skydive, courtesy of our partners at N zone, they will take you up to 15,000 feet, that’s an extra thousand feet higher than your allowed to go in Australia by the way, and throw you out of a perfectly good aeroplane. Queenstown is one of the worlds best drop zones, and end zone have been pioneering skydiving here for decades.
Why is Queenstown so good to do the jump? Probably because it sits in a large bowl surrounded by huge lake big high mountains, and you will jump out of the plane and see the mountains come past you as you plummet down.
One of the great advantages of booking this through the New Zealand adrenaline tour is if you run out of time in Queenstown, or the weather does not play fair you also have the option to do the jump in Rotorua as well. You can read more about the nzone skydive here.
