No experience required. Your tour starts at the waterfall where your friendly guide will fit your safety gear and teach you how to use the equipment before starting the climb. You will be climbing on steel ladder rungs and crossing wire bridges to finish at a beautiful picnic spot. We then walk down a mountain trail and back to the base. If you are more adventurous and are looking to explore more in this incredible vertical world, we recommend our intermediate Level 2 climb.

Fantastic morning climbing and canyon descent with Felix . . .

Published on Feb, 2025

3 of us were on the climb & canyon tour on 11th Feb with Felix & from the 1st minute, his friendly professional attitude shone through. His careful explanations of the equipment & what to expect reassured us all. Throughout both the climb & descent, he was calm & supportive to all 3 of us. His excited whoops echoed around the canyons and waterfalls as we descended & at each 'station', he checked and rechecked ours & his equipment, ensuring maximum safety & instilling confidence at every stage. This was a brilliant experience made even more special by the fact that another guide (Tash) on a separate climb had video footage of us all on one of the biggest waterfall descents. As an aside, the food provided was of exceptional quality, & the vegetarian option for one of our group was much appreciated. Thanks, Felix, you're a star mate. Lewis, Sophia and John (your oldest client thus far)

Incredible!!

My mom and I did level one with canyoning down the waterfalls. This experience was absolutely amazing. Our guide was Felix and he was so personable and full of energy. He was so kind to my mom and I as some parts were a bit challenging. He has a very relaxing presence and makes the journey so much fun. His energy is contagious! I highly recommend this tour if you like a good adventure!

Amazing staff, a one of a kind experience that everyone gets something different from. Thoroughly recommended!

Want to do this again

Published on Dec, 2024

This was high on our list to do, however time ended up dictating that we could only do the lower (shorter) level. Great fun, if ever in Wanaka again, definitely going back and going higher. Recommend, as long as you're okay with heights.
