This was epic to do - and the actual ride was better than I imagined. Once the ride started you just relaxed and enjoyed it!

WOW! Even thought I am scared of heights…. I nearly backed out at the last minute…. I’m so glad I pushed through my fear & experienced this once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you to our guide Zac / who was so welcoming and full of knowledge with the Nelson area & the beautiful trees on the mountain. You are a valuable employee.

I'm not great with heights but promised my family I'd do it with them, both my daughters (8 & 16) and the hubby really loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat

Such a cool experience. Friendly staff, great van ride up. Got to about 88km/h on the sky wire. They drag you backward super fast too. Super speedy. Awesome

Can't recommend this experience more! The Skywire was thrilling, but the excellent tour on the drive up and down to the Flying Fox by Cullen was awesome! We were not expecting it, but we received lots of local insights from him, especially regarding the flora we saw along the way. And he was great about including the kids. Thank you, Cullen!
