Canyon Swing, Queenstown

Rebecca decided to do the 'Highest Swing in the World.' The Canyon Swing is 110m high with 60m of freefall before swinging into a 200m arc in the valley below. She loved it so much that she did it twice, the second time head first!
The photos do not really do the jump justice as Stephen had to stand on the spectator (wimp) platform. Click on the YouTube link below to see the video

All smiles after the jump

Glad to see you guys are having a great time, we were a little uncertain of what weather you would get as it was bad in Wellington. That vid of the canyon swing is great!!!! Glad you both are having a great time, better luck with round 2 at Kaikoura!

Hows the old faithful tent holding up?

See you both soon,

David and Tash

Dear Rebecca's Mom,

Can you please sort your daughter out and tell her to stop doing dare devil stunts especially at her age!! Absolutely amazing and you looked so relaxed, like you were just stepping off the kerb. Not sure I like the upside down bit either and I can't understand why it didn't bother you? Fantastic effort, never in a million years would I attempt it. Well done xx
