What you can expect

Calling all adventurers looking for the wow factor, this is the perfect experience for you! On this adventure you will conquer the world's highest waterfall cable climb and return from your climb in style by Helicopter.

During the 5-7 hour advanced climb you will be using steel ladder rungs, foot pegs, wire bridges and cables to make your way up the 450m cascading waterfalls of Twin Falls. Along the way, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of the mountains, lakes and waterfalls, getting up close and even going in behind one to gain access to the very top.

All necessary safety equipment and training are provided on the day by your attentive and experienced guide and you do not need any prior climbing experience, however, all adventurers should be fit, ready for adventure and able to manage heights as this journey rises high into the sky.

If you're chasing an epic journey in the Wanaka region and have a love for all things adventure then this is the experience for you!
