Everyone in the family had a great time - This was my favourite experience in NZ. The ferrata course allows you to tackle challenging terrain more easily - this was easily doable with a (very) moderate level of fitness. It's a great experience - literally climbing up the side of a waterfall and crossing bridges back and forth across it - so much fun! We had fantastic views all the way back to Wanaka. Our guide Maddie was very reassuring and encouraging. She made sure that everyone had a great time. The provided morning tea and lunch (from Fedeli Cafe in Wanaka) was excellent. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun half day out.

Wildwire Wanaka is an absolute must do activity. - We had the most amazing time doing Level 2 at Wildwire Wanaka. Our guide Sophia was excellent - very encouraging and always making sure we were safe and feeling confident. The climb was such fun and a little challenging, and it certainly took me out of my comfort zone. We all felt a sense of achievement at the end and sorry it was over. We can not recommend Wildwire Wanake and our wonderful guide Sophia enough. Do yourself a favour and try it as it's a fantastic way to spend half a day.

Great experience - worth the cost - Fantastic Experience. Great Guide. Have to be able to climb ladders and be OK with heights. Not too difficult for most fit people.

bucket list experience - BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE - such an amazing time. Completed L2 in approximately 3.5 hours, filled with rock scaling, bridges, stream crossings, and bridges. This is a thrill seeker’s playground, and even though I don’t have any climbing experience, it was super intuitive and friendly (as long as you don’t have a fear of heights). Tour guide Jason was great at walking us through the safety, providing guidance in the navigation of the mountain, and taking amazing pictures! I want to do this everywhere I go - can’t say enough good things about this experience!

Level 2 Via Ferrata - This was an amazing adventure! With some prior climbing experience, level 2 was the perfect length and difficulty to have a great time. Even without climbing experience this would still be a great experience as it is safe and well maintained. The guides were great as well (shout out to Phil!).

Climbing this waterfall with Sophia was perfect! - This experience is out of this world. So fun and the guides make it even better. The climb was safe and you climb in small groups so you get to know your guide a little, get a great workout and accomplish an amazing climb up a waterfall. Do it! It’s so fun and I hope you get Sophia as your guide because she is a blast and so fun to talk to! What a fun surprise this whole experience was!!

A must do if in Wanaka! - Wild Wire Wanaka was in the top 3 most awesome things we did on our trip through NZ! The views over the surrounding area were incredible, and climbing over a waterfall was such a unique experience. The guides were fantastic! All of them were lovely, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their jobs. I would 100% recommend this to everyone. I’ve honestly never seen an experience like this anywhere else. An absolute must do if you’re in Wanaka!!
