My husband and I lived in NZ for 6 years, visited Wanaka twice and each time did a trip with Deep Canyon. The first time we booked "Big Nige" and it was us and one other couple from the UK. Our experience was just awesome, we didn't want the day to end. The value for money is incredible - from... More

If you're up for a challenge, this full day of abseiling, climbing, trekking and sliding down rocks into waterfalls and pools is one of the more exciting and incredible things you can experience in New Zealand. I signed up for the Niger Stream and really had a blast challenging my own fears about heights and jumping off cliffs. Our guide... More

This is the BOMB! Sign up, put on the wet suit and have lots of fun. The setting is spectacular. The abseils, slides, jumps, and water are exhilarating. The guide, Holly, is dynamite. It doesn't get any better than when the guide is as enthusiastic about the tour as the guests and Holly exudes enthusiasm for her profession. Yes, she... More

Holly and Milli were outstanding and professional canyon guides. This was one of the most memorable excursions we did while in New Zealand. It is completely safe and quite the adventure. Must do if going to Wanaka.

I loved this! In terms of value for money, compared to other activity excursions, this one trumps as you are out in the Canyon for the morning and most of the afternoon and you get to challenge yourself in so many ways. You would be surprised by how proud you are of yourself when it's completed! Everyone was in high... More

The scenery was superb and the jet boat - 360 degree spins and all was just scary enough to be enjoyable. Our driver was an a mine of information and this really is the best thing to do from Wanaka. Takes one half day.

My partner and I did the canyoning today, it was a last minute choice to go on the tour and boy are we so so glad we chose to do it. Our guides Holly, Milly and Anna were all absolutely amazing and I did not even anticipate how awesome canyoning can be. We have done loads of activities in queenstown... More

I'd admit I was a bit weary of this adventure, which was planned as part of our New Zealand honeymoon. My husband is a water bug, but I'm a big scared of it...despite some initial anxiety, however, our guide Anna helped make this adventure the highlight of our trip! From our initial greeting to the end of the trip, Anna... More

The small group make sure that everything keeps moving along nicely with no unecessary waiting around. Amazing scenary as well! Highly recommended and great value for... More
