What you can expect

Join Wildwire Wanaka for a uniquely New Zealand waterfall via ferrata experience. Via ferrata is climbing via a series of iron rungs, steel cables and wire bridges which creates an accessible route on otherwise steep rock walls. On your climb, discover beautiful waterfalls, crystal clear water and spectacular views. There is a tour available for all skill & fitness levels below.

Wildwire Wanaka is the only waterfall via ferrata in New Zealand! Situated at the Twin Falls near Treble Cone Ski field and on the road to Mt Aspiring National Park, the scenery in itself is simply breathtaking. The Twin Falls, as the name suggests, is a unique double waterfall that cascades through a number of pools and free hanging waterfall sections.

Level 1 - Easy Tour of Lower Section Begin your adventure by meeting at the Twin Falls Waterfall climbing base. Master the safety skills before embarking on your climbing adventure, navigating the Twin Falls in a small group with attentive guides as you stay dry. Enjoy exclusive access, cross 4 suspension bridges and unbeatable views of the surrounding lakes and mountains - including Mount Aspiring. Once at the lower section finishing point you will stop to enjoy the scenery before descending back by trail to the bottom.

Suitable for beginners. Basic fitness required - must be able to climb a ladder & walk on hilly terrain for up to 2 hours.
