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.
Mind blowing....woohoo!

5.00Stunningly 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.
