My boyfriend and I had a lovely and sunny afternoon climbing with our rockstar guide, Jamie! He took us to a spot just about 10 minutes outside of Queenstown and then only a 6min hike to the crag. It was absolutely beautiful and Jamie was super helpful and encouraging. Thanks! 10/10!

A complete waste of time and money. They literally spent hours going over safety of the harness which you don't even need because it's not real climbing, more like walking, and standing around doing nothing, with the rest of the time spent clipping & unclipping 3x carabiners. Definitely the worst money spent in Queenstown.
