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.

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!
