    What an epic adventure !

    I've had the best of time abseiling and canyoning on the Sleeping God. Wayne was such a great guide with good laugh, good food and good people.

    I've felt very safe every step of the way, and I'm amazed of what I was able to do at the end of the day !

    Would 1000% recommend !

    A M A Z I N G experience.

    Did the Sleeping God full day. Anna and Trif were very attentive from minute 0, took extraordinary good care of us, and were not only exceptionally skillfull, but also very cheerful and reassuring. I always felt they were people to blindly trust. The hike up is a little demanding but definitely worth the effort. Then comes the good part of it... won't spoil it! it just gets better and better all the way down. Not only will you feel the rushing flow of adrenaline as you abseil down, the scenery is unbeatable and unmissable. Actually unique, as there is no other way of enjoying those amazing views over the forest canopy. Reasonable fitness is required. A one in a lifetime experience. Thank you guys!!!

    An outstanding adventure!

    My family and I (two adults and three teens) have engaged in a variety of different outdoor adventure activities and this tops the lot! The guides, Anna and Annette, were exceptional - both excellent instructors and lovely people as well. We did the ‘halfie’ Uenuku falls trip (4 abseils, 2 zip lines and multiple jumps over about 5-6 hours) and it was a truly memorable experience for all. Highly recommend!

    It was a great day out in nature!

    While walking out of the Pinnacles after Xmas, I saw a row of diving suits hanging in the wind. I thought they were for cave rafting. The staffs passed me a brochure and invite me to come. Here I am, with my wife.

    We are in our mid 50s. My wife has not done any river tracing or abseiling before, same as the other lady in the group. Thanks for Sara, the instructor. The new thing I learned is that the way of swimming/floating is different while wearing the diving suit. Without her guild, we won’t be able to enjoy such tranquil beauty deeply hidden in the canyon.

    No man ever steps in the same river twice. However, I know that they are always there: the fallen trunk under the waterfall that I stood and the crystal pools that I jumped as if I were a kid. I step in the river forever.

    Rusty, T & Triff led us through the Full-Day Sleeping God Canyon Tour and weeks later I'm still processing how incredible of an experience it was.

    As guides, they were so unflappable, positive, and upbeat, and even in the crazier than normal conditions in the canyon, it made the experience so approachable and truly a blast.

    I couldn't have imagined doing half of the things we did during the tour beforehand, and I'm so thankful to have had the experience and pleasure of being led by the three of them.

    Through abseiling down waterfalls, to jumping off rocks to hiking through the forrest, it's something I'll never forget.

    If you're going to be in the North Island, this is a MUST-DO!

    My buddy and I did the full day Sleeping God tour on the last day of our trip and we had an absolute blast.

    The trip ended up $240 US / person and it was so worth the money.

    We were a bit hesitant due to the price, but if we went back again there would be no question. The tour began with a 1 hour pretty challenging hike which wasn’t all too fun, but it was well worth it. From the top you abseil (rappel), jump, slide and zip line from 10 different waterfalls. 5 abseils, 2 zip lines, 2 jumps and 1 slide. The biggest jump was 14 meters and some of the abseils were much larger and super thrilling.

    We felt safe in the hands of Wayne and our other guide (sorry forgot her name) the entire time. They were calm and collected and you can tell that they are complete pros at this.

    This adventure took us to parts of nature that were so remote and we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. If you’re thinking of booking, call now and don’t wait. It’s one of the coolest things you will ever do!

    I did the “Uenuku Falls Halfie” trip with my two young adult daughters.

    It was a fantastic day out and I would say it is one of the best outdoor activities I’ve ever done with my family. Four abseils, including over and down into waterfalls, water jumps and wading through rivers and streams, and tramping in the bush. This tour was perfect for us, and our guide Wayne was amazing. It is professionally and safely run but all the adventure you want is there, too. All the gear we needed was supplied, as was a good lunch and snacks. Also—and importantly for memories--lots of high-quality photos are taken during the tour and these are sent to you free of charge! Very much appreciated. In addition to challenging ourselves to try new things and the thrills involved, the waterfalls we encountered along the way were beautiful and can only be experienced if you do Canyonz tour. NZ tourism needs our support now and this would be the perfect family activity to do with kids who are teens or young adults, or as a couple or with friends. Thanks to Wayne and everyone.

The guides were amazing, allowing us to take our time, never rushing, but all very safe. Loved it, and the burger at the end topped the day off.

    My girlfriend and I had an epic day doing the full day Sleeping God trip.

    Not only did we abseil down waterfalls, the trip included epic jumps, slides and ziplines too. The guides (Anna and Wayne) were amazing - both encouraging, nurturing and also upholding safety.

    I really appreciated the extra touches throughout this experience - making sure we all had good fitting gear, providing snacks and lunch and cooking up hot burgers afterwards too. The photos that are taken throughout the day and shared afterwards are a great keepsake of all the excitement and adrenaline rushes you're getting throughout the day. A really well thought out experience and a must-do for those seeking adventure. You get to experience and see a part of NZ not many others will get to- a real treat. 100% recommend doing this!!!

    Wayne and Anna are simply awesome!!!!...

    we all loved it from start to finish. Their experience and expertise are second to none and we all felt they stepped into the role as Cheif Encouragement Officers with excellence. There were moments of fear!.. I mean why wouldn't there be looking over a 30m and then an 80m drop?! the 10 m and 15m jumps. The good old Critter brain started telling us all what the 'F' are you doing?...trying to keep us all safe... but listening to the expert instruction we walked through fear and did it anyway - guided by Wayne and Annas nurturing approach.

    It's a full day and some level of fitness required - go in thinking i can do it - because you can - what's even more special - they are both beautiful humans and real fun to hang out with. We would all go back and do it again!

    I bought the experience as a gift for my daughter & daughter in law. Without really knowing what we were in for we ended up experiencing some great bush & river walking, & then on the the descent, abseiling the waterfalls, swimming in the pools, it all added up to a wonderful & unique opportunity to be immersed in some of the beauty this land has to offer. Anna our guide was also not only a great support but also just a damn fine person to spend a few hours with.
