5.00This was my first zipline experience ever and I loved it! It was fun and exhilarating without being terrifying. The 6-line tour includes a 20 minute hike, but there's an option for people with mobility issues (or young kids) to ride down. The 6-line tour was ideal, because it didn't feel like it was over too fast..
Zipping through the trees...weeeeee

5.00I did the 6 line Kea and had a blast. Steve and Chazz were super entertaining and kept the energy high. I've participated with Ziptrek in Whistler, Canada as well and the quality is top notch. Safe, fun, and lines that push your comfort zone just a bit, then make you want to do more. Highly recommend ziplining and if you're a little nervous, Ziptrek is a great operation to get your feet wet, er, flying. 😁
A must do experience

5.00We did the Kea 6-Line tour. 6 awesome ziplines. Have the courage to do the trustfall. :) Small walk (downhill) to the last zipline but anyone who needed it was offered transportation (limited places). Beautiful trees and scenery. Guides professional and knowledgeable. We had Tom and Hannah who were awesome.
The zip line was amazing...

5.00Views were amazing. The guides were very competent and also very nice. The ziplines themselves were great fun, though I don't have much to compare them against as this was my first time doing this activity.
Incredible Experience!!
