The spectacular views, our amazing guide who balanced encouragement with support so beautifully, the adventure, and finding out we could do something we didn’t think we could. We signed up for level 2 (and I thought we would chicken out and go back after level 1), and we ended up doing all 3 levels. It was one of the most special experiences we have ever had. Thank you Yasmine. We won’t forget this experience!

So worth the experience. Super fun day! Our guide Shane was knowledgeable, patient and friendly and very safely mindful. He took pics of us the whole way up. The sandwiches provided were top notch. I would recommend this to anyone who is not afraid of exposure.

It was the most challenging outdoor activity I’ve ever done in my life. It was super fun and rewarding experience. Our guide, Jasper was great making sure to keep me safe! I highly recommend this activity if you are not afraid of height and physically fit! My husband also had a blast time!

One of the best activities I have done in New Zealand. It was the first time I had done any sort if climbing and our guide Tanguy made sure I was safe and having fun throughout, checking in with me if I looked a little nervous at times. Very happy I chose to book this, definitely worth it. I also didn't have a car to get to the site so I contacted the company and they were able to offer a shuttle from town which was extremely helpful.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re so glad to hear that your first climbing experience was such a great one, and Tanguy will be stoked to know you felt safe and had fun throughout. It’s also great to hear that the shuttle service made things easier for you. Thanks again for choosing Wildwire, and we hope to see you back for more adventures soon! 🌟😊

It was an amazing experience and we had a great time. Naomi was great and patient with everyone in our group.

Probably the best experience we did in New Zealand (though we only did the Level 1 due to time constraints). Right combination of feeling super technical and high adrenaline while being very manageable and safe. Guides were excellent. Overall would strongly recommend
