Wild Wire Wanaka Waterfall Climbing Adventure

WildWire Lake Wanaka’s Guided Waterfall Climbing Adventure

Join us on the world’s highest waterfall via ferrata adventure. Twin Falls, one of Wanaka’s most stunning waterfalls, is just a short drive from Wanaka’s town centre and the entrance to Mt. Aspiring National Park.

The opportunity to explore these waterfalls up close is an amazing and absolutely unforgettable experience; discover secret pools, picnic next to towering waterfalls, and take in stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lakes. With ladder rungs and bridges allowing access to previously inaccessible regions, the use of Via Ferrata systems affords even the most inexperienced adventurers an incredible opportunity.
There are three possible tours. Go Wild – the beginner’s tour, which is gently graded and easier to travel
Wild Thing is the intermediate route, which grows more steeper and more adventurous, while Lord of the Rungs is our newest advanced trip. This excursion ascends 400 vertical metres from the valley floor to the very top of the waterfall, traverses over 1000m of climbing behind the cascade and across overhangs, and concludes with a helicopter flight back to the ground.

On all trips, we stop frequently so you can take in the breathtaking scenery. Our highly-skilled crew guarantees your safety at every level.
