Connor was a great friendly and knowledgeable guide. The journey up to the ride was very interesting along with the history of the park. The ride was exillarating and over all to quickly but fast then very scenic.
Invigorating, informative and fun.

Starts surrounded by big hills wondering which one is hiding the wires. All is revealed when the fun, friendly experienced drivers takes us up through narrow mountain treks for an adventurous 20 minute drive. Arriving at the Skywire the valley it crosses is immense. Safely strapped in we let go with a gentle glide, brief stomach perking acceleration then stunning rush over the forest with 100kph slipstream flapping your cheeks. Great views over the forest and around the hills aven catching glimpses of tiny mountain bikers on the scattering of distant tracks. All in all a great fun, well organised, professional yet relaxed experience.

The adventure park was really far from Nelson city and despite the Viator website stating “ A pick-up can be arranged from central Nelson on request”, this was not the case. The sky wire it’s self was pretty fun but of the 90minutes listed for event duration, closer to 10 is spent on the sky wire itself.

Whilst on a family trip around the South Island we took the family (me, wife and 3 kids ages 13, 11, 8) to the skywire at Cable Bay. As with every trip we packed a decent lunch and took our trusty JetBoil and enjoyed a picnic and coffee / hot chocolate in the skywire park. After our lunch we were taken in a shuttle up to the top of the mountain. During the trip up the driver gave a heap of amazing info the park and nature and how they do pest control, he also pointed out some 1000 year old trees which was really cool. There are some good facilities at the top of the mountain. My wife and kids did the ride as they could only take 4 (which was ok) I took some photos. The ride is exhilarating but not scary at all our 8 year old boy loved it. It’s such a huge ride I think lasted for 10-15 minutes in total as they let you go down then tow you back up. The ride down was as enjoyable as the ride up and the kids were buzzing. Total time to do the activity was around 2 hours and provided you prepare good food and coffee to take the price is reasonable ($325 for 1 Adult and 3 children) compared to typical NZ adventure tourism activities. As with everything in NZ the best experiences are cheap / free provided you prepare and enjoy the little things 🙂
Great fun!

Awesome personal experience as it was just me and my wife. Guides had great knowledge of local area and all things New Zealand on the mini bus ride to the top. Awesome views of the rainforest and surrounding area.
An adrenalin rush.

Easy to book online we chose the skyline ride. Plenty of parking (we booked the 2:45pm session) On arrival there was no one in the office but there is a sign on the counter letting you know they are out in the park and will be back soon. There are iPads to sign in on and sign your waver, use the QR code on your receipt for quick access. We sat in the cafe area until the shuttle arrived to take us up to the skyline ride. If you get car sick you may want to sit up at the front or by on the single seat by the sliding door. Once up the top plenty of room and shelter to stretch your legs, take photos from The stunning view. There are internal toilets on site. Our guide was super fun and it didn’t take long for the group to go through the ride. We enjoyed the ride, leave you caps and loose footwear on the deck before you hop into the chair, you can take your cellphone but it’s like holding onto it if you were holding it out your car window doing 90kms. The ride down was fun, the reverse free fall backwards on the return was exciting, it would exciting to have the chair reversed for the ride and step off backwards. We clocked 92.9km going down. Over all we have fun, it was super chill with the staff on site and we recommend the later session in the afternoon if you want to avoid the crowds.
Great, friendly guide...
