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!
Your 3.5-hour experience will begin from our homebase in central Kaikōura. One of our legendary crew will take you on a 15-minute scenic shuttle ride to our "gear up" and staging location. 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.
