‘We had a great day rock climbing in WÄnaka! Since we only had one day in Wanaka for climbing, we wanted a guide to take us to good spots so we could be more efficient, and [our guide] was great, giving us several options along the way and kept us safe. Would highly recommend this company if youâ€™re looking for either a group guided experience or a private one!’
