Great tour guides. I think the road up to the top was more scary than zip lining. I am quite scared of heights but this was an amazing experience. Views are incredible.100% recommend to give this a go! My teen girls want to go again soon.

This was so thrilling with excitement & adrenaline pumping experience. We were well looked after but our Guides Andi and Eden, they were excellent. My wife was very nervous at the first wire, but with their help they got her relaxed and she started to enjoy the experience. The other couples that we were, made it so special. We all bonded well together which made it even better .We are both in our 60,s and we never made to feel like we weren’t up to it. The whole team from reception to the driver, made our whole adventure a trip of a live time 🙏

Far more than just a zipline, great tour chats and very educational from plants to everything Kaikoura has to offer. From where to eat to what to do after the tour, fun, safe friendly, all guides keep the conversations going and couldn’t recommend it more!
