Book this activity!! - This was such an incredible experience! Lorna was a terrific guide- she put us all at ease and was clear with her instructions. She even took photos during our climb that she sent to us afterwards! This was a highlight, and one I would absolutely do again. Cannot recommend this enough!!

Level 1 Waterfall Climb From Wanaka Experience. - Whilst visiting our daughter in NZ we took off for a few days touring and whilst stopping in Wanaka, I booked this experience, as we are both in mid 50's I decided level 1 would be a good starting point. On arrival then you get to see the height of the waterfall, and even though we only booked level 1 this still gives you a good taster if you then decided on the day to upgrade to attempt the additional levels. The whole team were very friendly when we arrived and all got to know each other very quickly, once harnessed up we were given a safety induction and individual team member was allotted dependant on level booked, our guide Sarah by coincidence was from UK and from same county as ourselves in Lincolnshire. Sarah was such a patient instructor and made us both feel very safe and comfortable, as she realised my wife was out of her comfort zone, we both completed this level and my wife felt it was a big achievement for herself. Just to say once again how much we both enjoyed this experience in our own ways, and thanks again Sarah especially from Helen for all your confidence boosting and support in helping her / us up level 1 and great chatting all the way back down. Thank you all :)

Amazing!!!! - We did the Level 1 climb as a family of four (kids 13 & 11) and absolutely loved it! We all would have upgraded to the Level 2 climb but our youngest was under the minimum weight. I’m not a fan of heights but didn’t have any issues as you’re so busy concentrating on what you’re doing you don’t really think about the height. Plus we all felt completely safe with the harness etc. We would definitely do this again and cannot recommend this highly enough! Thanks for an amazing adventure!

Best Waterfall climb - This was one of the best climb I have had. The guide Tongi was amazing. I loved it so much that I upgraded to Level2 straight after my Level 1 climb. Its a must do activity. Highly recommended.

So much fun - What a blast. Completely new to climbing but received excellent and reassuring instruction before heading up the Level 1 Waterfall Climb. Lovely Yasmin guided us up and before I knew it I was hanging hands free off a bridge! I’m a Wanaka local and have been non stop recommending Wild Wire to all my friends. Will be back to give Level 2 a go. Thanks guys

A must do activity!! - A unique experience for the first timers.  Sarah, our young, friendly, enthusiastic & beautiful Via Ferrata guide was very caring. Instructions were kept simple and easy to understand. Everyone from 11 years old to 55 years old felt safe & comfortable from beginning till the end. Once you get to the top it simply adds to the beauty of this activity. We had a really fantastic time and the unique experience was really worth - great value for money.  Thanks again to the WWW team for making this a memorable experience. Xx

First time via ferrata - Being first timers at via ferrata we were slightly apprehensive but the staff at Wildwire put us totally at ease and talked us through the safety instructions and what to expect in a formal but relaxed manner. We had a brilliant time doing level one and wished we could have gone further if we had longer. Recommended.

Had a blast! Would do again in a heartbeat. - We did the level 1. I was hungry for more after but our time was short. Safety and attention to detail was top notch. Everything was explained and practiced to ensure we were conformtable when the climbing started. Would do again, for sure. Thanks Yasmine!
