An 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.

Best 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.

Stunningly gorgeous experience. I was in safe hands from the get go and the day just got better and better. It was more than Zip Line adventure it was a true nature experience within beautiful NZ native bush complete with soaring birdlife.
