The world’s highest
waterfall cable climb
Wanaka, New Zealand
Wildwire is the world's highest waterfall cable climb: 450 metres of via ferrata beside Twin Falls, on private land 20 minutes from Wānaka.
You don't need to be a climber. You're clipped to a steel safety cable from the first rung to the last, with a guide beside you. If you can climb a ladder, you can do this.
Most people arrive wondering whether they can. They come down knowing they did.
Choose your climb
Join our guides on the world's highest waterfall cable climb. Three levels of Lord of the Rungs, our Climb & Canyon tour, and our newest climb, The Wild Thing.
There's something for every adventurer. Not sure which one is you? Most people book Level 2.
Lord of the Rungs
The world's highest waterfall cable climb. 450 metres of via ferrata up Twin Falls, with three levels to choose from.
One route, three finishing points. Each level builds on the one below. You choose your level and how high you want to climb.
No experience needed, and you stay dry. Just bring your sense of adventure.
LEVEL 1
LEVEL 2
LEVEL 3
Our newest climb, for adventurers craving a fresh challenge. Nobody had climbed this waterfall before we put a route up it.
Start on the Level 1 route, hike across the top, then take on 320 metres of exposed face climbing and a suspended sky ladder. Best suited to anyone who has climbed Level 2 with us, or who has rock climbing behind them and a solid head for heights.
The Wild Thing
Twin Falls Climb & Canyon
The waterfall from both directions. You climb the Level 1 route up the falls, crossing suspension bridges and passing hidden pools, then pull on a wetsuit and abseil back down through the water.
You'll learn both sets of skills on the day, climbing and abseiling, with your guide alongside you the whole way. No experience needed. It's around five to six hours and you will definitely get wet.
Wetsuit provided.
