Deep Canyon

Had the Big Nige Tour yesterday with lots of jumps and slides which was amazing. Our guides Thomas and Felix were great. They guided us through the canyon safely with a lot of fun. A very nice day adventure that I can highly recommend to everyone who wants some action around Wānaka.

Absolutely amazing! Thomas was an excellent guide with a lot of experience. We has a 13year old in our group and there were no issues helping her through the track. We did some jumps, slides, abseiling, and zip lines.We did the Niger Stream canyon (beginer route). Don't let the swimming requirement turn you off, if you can swim the length of the deep pool at a swim center then that's more than enough.The guide picks you up at the I-site and brings all the gear you will need (shoes, wet suits, etc), you just need a swim suit and towel. The gear keeps you very warm, we also stopped part way through and Thomas provided hot tea to warm everyone up.The hardest part of the trip is the ascent to the canyon, so factor that into your choice (harder = longer hike). I start to get tired legs at 10 flights of stairs and had to take some breaks, but had no issues with the rest of the trip.100% recommend if you are at all interested in climbing, canyoning, or just want a fun adventure.

Canyoning was awesome! Robin is a real pro, he understands individuals personal limitations but is still very encouraging for people to leave their comfort zones, with safety always at the forefront. On booking, we asked for Imp Grotto with a group of three, and were told that it would be numbers permitting. But on the day of the activity, Robin arrived in his car, loaded us in and off we went. The drive out was very scenic and Robin was a great host. A quick safety brief, and then an excellent way of turning our wetsuits into a backpack, off we went. The actual canyon was incredible. Very remote, we swiftly climbed up a proper goat track to get to the beginning of the canyon. Another safety brief and a practical explanation of the activities, off we went. Robin set up the first rappel and away we were! Down some big waterfalls, then some rock slides, a couple of jumps and more repelling, plus a nice display of how the pros do it as Robin removed all the gear on his way down. On finish, we jumped off the bridge a couple of times for some more excitement to finish. Then halfway on the drive back, we stopped for a fresh lunch in which Robin accommodated for all dietary requirements. All in all, an excellent experience that I'd recommend to all.

We had an amazing time on the beginner trip at Niger Stream with Jerome. We abseiled, jumped off waterfalls, zip-lined and challenged ourselves to try new things at our own comfort level. Instructions were easy to follow. We will definitely go canyoning again!

Amazing!! It was our first time canyoning and it was such a thrill. We did the beginner tour at Niger Stream which was perfect for us and totally beyond our expectations! Our guide, Felix was fantastic! Definitely recommend

My partner and I recently went on a canyoning trip and it was an incredibly exciting and unforgettable experience!Our guides, Strahn and Rose, were both very experienced, friendly, and attentive to our safety, while also being patient and helpful in guiding us through the canyons. Our overall experience was amazing! We felt safe and in good hands throughout the trip, and we were able to enjoy the stunning views and thrilling challenges of the canyons.We had an absolute blast and are already planning to come back next year for another canyoning trip. We highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an adventure and a truly unique and memorable experience. Thank you, Strahn and Rose, for an incredible day!

Went on the Big Nige tour for the first day of the season. Having never done canyoning before it was an amazing experience of abseiling, sliding and jumping into pools. A good balance between thrills and challenge i look forward to canyoning again! The guides were helpful and friendly too.
