Don't miss this experience!
This is honestly one of our most memorable experiences in New Zealand. The company is top-notch - safe, professional, and with extremely knowledgable and experienced guides. Shane was so great. We learned so much about the area, climbing, and life in general. We loved talking to him and he kept us safe every step of the way. Also, lunch was delicious!

Best part of our trip!
This was the highlight of our entire trip! Our guide, Shane, was sensational. He was thorough and knowledgeable. He had lots of interesting stories and details to share, and was a great teacher and coach as we pushed our comfort zones. I felt totally safe with him. It was amazing climbing the waterfall but the canyoning/rappelling back down was incredible too! I’m so glad we did the combo trip. The wetsuits kept us warm and the sandwich served for lunch was tasty. The views were incredible from the top of the climb. I rarely write reviews but this experience, and especially our guide Shane, was so superlative that I had to let others know! Thank you Shane snd Wildwire!

My partner 67 and me 64...did it all...thanks to Wild Wire...
We had such a wonderfull time today.
Shane and Olly met us at the gate and took care of us all day long. Two lovely guys, extreemly well trained and experienced guides doing the extra mile to keep you safe and make you go all the way up and down.
This adventure for sure is little compairing to real mountaineering/canyoning but it really gives you a first impression with all guarantees of safety...and it can be done by anyone with a little fitness...like it says...you can climb a 6 step ladder you can participate and get this great adventure under the knee...
10 out of 10 for the team...plus plus plus for Shane and Olly...we will be back very soon...

A Thrilling Challenge
I did the level 3 climb on a high water / wind day. Really fantastic, one of the best experiences of my life. Had a great time with confident and supportive guides Rocky and Ollie.
Level 1 was a good warmup and taster. Level 2 was a little confronting but very doable. Level 3 was a challenge and extremely satisfying to complete.
The views were spectacular.
Operator response
Thanks so much! We’re thrilled you had a fantastic Level 3 climb. Rocky and Ollie will be stoked to hear your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the challenge and adventure!

1/2 day climbing / abseiling
Amazing experience, done with my two teenagers. Started by climbing up the waterfall. We have no climbing experience but felt very safe. Julius was very patient. Then proceeded to abseil down several waterfalls. A great introduction to the world of climbing …
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us! We’re so stoked that you and your teenagers enjoyed the adventure and felt safe throughout.
Julius will be delighted to hear your kind words. We totally agree, the combination of climbing up and abseiling down waterfalls is such a cool way to explore the waterfalls. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it as much as us!
We hope to see you again for more adventures in the future! Thank you for choosing us to create such special memories with your family.
