What To Expect
The EcoZip experience is a little different to other ziplines! Twin lines, running side-by-side, means you can share this exhilarating experience with a friend!

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.

5.00Great first time ever ziplining! Great guides Chloë and Edan. 5 lines of varying lengths. The longest is 640 metres - the 2nd longest in NZ after Christchurch. It was both me and my partner's first time. I was pretty nervous, especially when you see the long one that goes across a valley 109m deep! But, once you've done the first one, you will start to enjoy rather than fear! You get transported part of the way in unimoc, across the river. You then walk for about 1 km to the first line. If it's your first time don't hesitate - it's only scary til you've done the first one and the views are amazing!

5.00We had a great time ziplining with Olive and Katie, even despite the rain! Our instructors were super friendly and told us lots about the local area. They kept our spirits high throughout our time there as we were getting a bit soggy, but was still a highlight of our NZ trip nonetheless! We got one of the phone bungees, which we definitely recommend as having videos of our time on the lines are great to watch back.
