5.00We booked the EcoZip tour on Waiheke Island at the very last minute, snagging the final spots of the day, and we’re so glad we did—it turned out to be another truly unforgettable experience. The views were absolutely stunning, and the whole adventure felt both exciting and incredibly well run. Our guides were super sweet, fun, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They made everyone feel comfortable and confident, added lots of interesting commentary, and kept the energy light and enjoyable the entire time. The convenience of being picked up at one of the stops on the island and dropped off where we wanted after the tour was a huge bonus and made the whole experience even smoother. Overall, it was a fantastic adventure and one we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Waiheke Island!

5.00The staff were so helpful and kind. I accidentally booked the wrong ferry so ended up on the wrong side of the island, thankfully the staff helped me get to where I needed to be and didn’t make me feel like an inconvenience. The actual zip lining was great, wish it was longer, and the walk was great!
Worth every dollar!

5.00This trip was worth every single dollar! From being picked up from the ferry to the experience itself, every step was easy and educational. Ben and Jessie were absolutely fantastic guides. Extremely personable and knowledgeable. The 45 minute bush walk back was well paced and very educational. This will be on my highly recommended list to anyone going to NZ!
A must-do activity on Waiheke!!

5.00WOW!!!!!!!! From the minute you arrive and enjoy the panoramic views - what an absolutely amazing environment. We checked in, the Eco Zip team were welcoming, fun, funny, friendly and just really lovely people with enormous skills, respect and knowledge. You are taken through the safety guidelines which support your understanding of how this works and just how safe you are. The two team members who support you at all times are incredibly thorough and encouraging. The Zip Line itself was amazing - flying over the native bush, the stunning scenery was maybe second to the whole feeling of flying - you just have to Yeehah! (sorry for breaking the beautiful peaceful, tranquil environment). The walk back through the forest was full of history, knowledge, respect and aroha. What an experience. On behalf of my daughter and very good friend, all I can say is we loved every minute and thank you so much for every second of our adventure. I will never forget this.

5.00EcoZip Adventure offers three zip lines, each getting progressively longer and faster. The scenery on each line is stunning, over vineyards and forest valleys. I felt safe throughout, our guides did an excellent job with easy to follow instructions that kept everything running smoothly.
