Deep Canyon, Wanaka, NZ

Deep Canyon adventures are a journey unlike any other. Get in touch the natural world. From the raw power of waterfalls to the tranquility of deep, forested pools, from sculptural rockscapes to glowing green moss droplets, you will be immersed in a world you never knew existed.

Challenge yourself in ways you’ve never imagined. Plunge down water polished chutes and abseil down waterfalls. Jump off cliffs! Climb, swim and float through an amazing world of water – sculptured rock, deep clear pools and spectacular waterfalls.

Canyoning for water confident people with reasonable fitness, looking for big fun! Great for groups and teenage families.

More adventurous canyoning trips for people with good fitness, swimming ability and a head for heights. Does this sound like you?

Real adventure for people with excellent fitness and water skills, outdoor experience and a big, positive attitude...

Maddie and Margeux were AMAZING! They were super knowledgeable about every jump, slide, absailing etc. They were also super fun! Made my sister and I feel so safe. The gear they provide is extremely warm and you are moving the whole time so it's rare that you get cold!

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.

We took the Wilson Creek trip and what a trip! It is a majestic canyon with roaring water, but our guide Robin and Renault made it so safe for us! Price may be high, but their huge efforts are well worth it! You probably cannot find a more adventurous guided activity in the world!

This was a fantastic canyoning experience for me as a first time and for my wife who has done if before but not for a long time. Our guides were fantastic, I had total confidence in their safety standard, even on the scary parts!

We have been traveling to so many places and tried all kinds of adventures. But this was the best! I’m pretty confident no experience can beat this one! My husband and I did the Wilson canyoning with Rene and Robin as our guide! The are amazing! This is an advanced canyoning especially with heavy water flow. They kept us safe and made it epic!

I had an amazing day with Deep Canyon. Reno was awesome, knowledgeable, safe and a lot of fun! So glad I decided to spend the day canyoning!
