Forest flyer - Super location, sweeping views of the forest and coastline beyond. This ride is a blast and absolutely worth the short drive from Nelson, at the base of a stunning valley in farm country. Very well run business - professional, helpful and friendly staff… two thumbs up!!

Interesting but not intense - We really enjoyed this trip. The tour up to the skywire was really cool with some amazing views. Our guide had some great knowledge and told us about the wildlife and plant life. The skywire is an awesome experience. We were even refunded one of our tickets when a member of our group fell ill the day of the trip. 😊

Great experience - The skywire was a great experience! The young man was lovely and kept us entertained on the trip up and back. The safety briefing and the whole set up was well designed. The price of the Skywire we found to be extremely expensive for what it is. Over $200 for a couple was over the top!

Cancelled ride - Drove 30 minutes out of our way to do the sky wire. Got a lift to the top . Got some lovely photos of the view. But unfortunately our guide informed us due to technical problems the sky wire was cancelled , so got a lift back down the hill. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had to get refund which was no problem So cannot comment on the sky wire ride . Disappointed
