Our trip with Deep Canyon TOTALLY exceeded our expectations. Millie and Anna were EXCELLENT at their jobs, totally friendly and trustworthy. This was probably our favorite thing that we did in New Zealand, and would recommend it to anyone half interested in any kind of 'extreme' activity. It was a perfect mix of challenging and rewarding. We went in a... More

This was so much fun! My husband and I did the Niger stream trip when we were visiting wanaka and I have been raving about it ever since. It was such good value and our guide was cool, calm and collected the whole time. We were in a group of five which meant that waiting for the jump or slides... More

After a week of nonstop adventures in New Zealand, my husband and I were so exhausted that I was tempted to cancel this excursion to rest. We were so glad we didn't cancel! We had an amazing time and it was one of our favorite days of vacation! The trip was well organized and we had a small group of... More

If you enjoy water and nature this is perfect. They have a few different options, I did the shortest one, the niger stream, which was decent, but after driving there (35 minutes), getting our equipment and hiking up to the start (25 minutes) the whole day event turned into a few hours. It was still great fun, but you are... More

This was one of the highlights of our trip. We booked a spot to do the Niger Stream at the last minute and were so glad we did. The trip included absailing and sliding down 10m waterfalls into deep rock pools. The canyon is amazing with some beautiful waterfalls and scenery. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. Great day!... More

This was a little challenging, a little cold, very wet and great fun! The combination of abseiling, sliding, jumping and ziplining was great! Our guide was fantastic, very nice and friendly and extremely thorough regarding safety! Loved it! More

Myself and 3 friends did the Niger Stream canyon on 2nd Jan 2012, and all of us rate it as one of our top experiences from the holiday. Our guide, Dave, was friendly and fun the whole way. He filmed and took photos of us all jumping, diving and abseiling our way through the canyon, and encouraged us to push... More

My husband and I did the Niger Stream trip. I had no experience and my husband had very little. It was the best thing we did the whole trip! Our guide, Anna, was so enthusiastic and fun that we got over the nerves quickly. We felt safe, but still got a great adrenaline rush. We would definitely do this again. More
