Skippers Canyon

Skippers Canyon, located a short distance north of Queenstown, New Zealand, is a striking natural formation where the Shotover River winds through nearly 14 miles (23 kilometers) of steep rock walls. The rugged landscape, topped with coarse alpine scrub, offers a dramatic backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. While the challenging terrain makes it unsuitable for casual driving, visitors can explore the canyon through hiking, jet boating, and white-water rafting, immersing themselves in the raw beauty and thrilling adventures that the area provides.
