Our family enjoyed our bouldering experience in the gym with Louis so much, we booked a half-day, outdoor climbing adventure out of Queenstown. Loz showed us a safe, fun, and amazing afternoon on the crags, and afterwards we enjoyed a dip in refreshing Lake Wakatipu! We highly recommend checking out Basecamp as each person we met was more than attentive to our kids' needs.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families describe the staff as particularly good with kids on their first visit, with guides noted for creating a relaxed and encouraging environment. The outdoor climbing adventure is highlighted as a natural progression from the indoor gym — multiple reviewers booked both on the same trip.
