What To Expect

Here you'll be transferred to a custom-built Unimog 4X4 that will carry you through the intertwined streams of the Kahutara River, then onto Rakanui Station - a 3,000-acre working farm. You'll fly high above the rolling valleys covered in native-trees, and lush farmland, soaking up the incredible 360 degree views to Kaikōura and beyond.

5.00This was my first zipline experience. The beauty of the New Zealand landscape on a perfect day enhanced the overall fun. All the Ecozip employers were terrific, especially our guide and tour lead Jen. I would happliy do these five ziplines all over again on my return to NZ

5.00Jen and Chloe took us safely, informatively, and enthusiastically around 5 ziplines. They talk about the history of the company and farmland it uses, some local geographic features, and dangerous local plants. The rush of shooting through the sky plus friendly guides gives rise to a fun camaraderie among other guests too. By the end, we were all cheering each other on to tricks like "the scorpion" and "playing dead" on the ziplines.
What a fantastic fun filled adrenaline rush thing to do!!!😎

5.00An exciting experience, made even better by staff guides Andi and Alex!! Great to challenge yourself to be brave. Amazing scenery. There is a bit of uphill walking, but thru the bush, so it adds to the experience.
My wife was way out of her comfort zone, but after the first zip she love it.

5.00Best experience I have ever had in NZ! Jen and Charley were fantastic guides. Despite feeling nervous, I always felt safe. The value for money cannot be overstated. $199 for a three hour tour down five amazing zip lines in beautiful surroundings. Compare that to $50 for the 10 second AJ Hackett zip line in Queenstown! Loved every second of this and would do it again in a heartbeat. An absolute recommend.
