Best via ferrata - Originally visited Wildwire in December, returned with mum and dad. Second time round, even more awesome! We met out guide, Dolce, harnessed up then in to a training boulder before beginning the climb. Very relaxed pace, the views were awesome and the route second to none. Dolce is absolutely amazing - one of the best guides, very supportive of dad who just did the first level, and celebrated the rest of the group throughout the trip. Also, a shoutout to Yasmin - thanks for all the help organising this trip! Thanks again Wildwire!

Don’t miss this! - Thought I did an earlier review, but must have been missed. So here it goes: It is definitely one of the best things you can do in the area - it’s exciting, fun and utterly beautiful to stand on the side of the mountain just inches from the waterfall. The guides are great and safety is never compromised. This outfit is totally professional and manage to keep it fun and easy without you feeling unsafe. The whole experience is 10 out of ten. Also probably the best value for money adventure activity in Queenstown and Wanaka area.

Brilliant - One of the best activities in wanaka Queenstown area. Guides were perfectly pitched. We were a group of 10 and all absolutely loved it. Challenging from outset. Fully worth every dollar.

A thrilling and daring experience - It’s such an exciting experience and the scenery is first-rate! An activity worth recommending! At the beginning, the instructor explained how to put on the safety belt and switch the safety buckle on during the on-site internship. This time, we had an instructor take the four of us up the mountain. Along the way, he taught us how to use the safety buckle to climb. When we reached the end, we looked back at the scenery. So pretty!

Fantastic experience with amazing views - Fantastic experience - the guides were wonderful very friendly and helpful - they split the group up so there is one guide for every 4 people and then you go up in groups which means a smooth ascent and the guide can support anyone feeling nervous and keep checking safety. The climb itself is exhilarating/ the view from the top is phenomenal we were lucky with a sunny clear day to see across to aspiring national park. The climb isn’t overly difficult though to level 2 so anyone with very basic fitness should be able to do it and don’t let a fear of heights get in the way. Wish we could have gone up further to level 3. Really recommend as a fun activity if if the area

Big Climb! - Climb up the ladder-like steps near the waterfall! This is known as ViaFrrata. The ground is sheer and it can be scary, but safety is ensured, so from the second half you can make daring poses like hanging or standing on one hand and one leg. The waterfall is impressive, so if you go to Wanaka, make sure to go to Wildwire. If you have the energy, go to the top of the waterfall!

Fantastic time - A great half day of adventure and thrills. The views were spectacular and the challenge was real. The instructors are friendly, fun and go out of their way to make the most of your experience, whilst still being very knowledgeable and safety- focused. Not the faint of heart but well worth it if you're up for it.
