skipper’s canyon
 Check out 71 metres of wild gravity deep in the
wilderness of the Shotover River Gorge.
The Queenstown Skippers Canyon Bridge Bungy is kept operational
by the AJ. Hackett Company specifically for special events and
corporate conferences. One popular event is a ‘Full Moon
Bungy’ available for group bookings, where up to 40 people
can enter into the canyon for a midnight jump.
These special events involve a 4WD Landover journey into the
rugged canyon as part of this ultimate wilderness adventure. The
perfect ‘Mission Impossible’ team-building scenario,
guaranteed to challenge and motivate corporate staff members,
private parties and social groups.
 Skipper’s Canyon at the head of the Shotover
River is New Zealand’s own ‘Grand Canyon’, and was
an important gold mining area in the 1860’s. Hundreds of
miners camped down in the gorge braving freezing winters and
severe spring floods.
Access to both the Skippers and Pipeline bungy sites is by 4WD
vehicles over roads that were hewn out of rock by manual labour.
Include time to visit the fascinating nearby stone school house
and historic Mt Aurum homestead. To complete this outstanding
backcountry experience you can hire mountain bikes and ride
awesome single tracks through the gorge.
Bookings for the Skipper’s Canyon bungy can be made through
the Conference and Incentive Coordinator at the AJ. Hackett
Company office.
