Zip Wire Kaikōura

Set amongst native bush on a working farm station just 15 minutes south of Kaikōura township, EcoZip Adventures is an award-winning adventure and eco-tourism destination, offering state-of-the-art flying-fox ziplines and a beautiful, eco-immersive experience. Dedicated to lovers of nature and adventure of all ages, you’ll enjoy ‘ the complete Kaikōura experience’ with us, riding a series of 5 giant flying-fox ziplines side-by-side through beautiful Rakanui Station. The experience comprises native-tree covered hills, verdant valleys, braided rivers, cascading waterfalls, rolling farmland and spectacular 360 degree views.
Crossing the Kahutara river in our 4X4 vehicle, taking in the sweeping views of South Bay - home to Kaikōura’s whale watching fleet and the Kaikōura peninsula, where Maui placed his heel to steady himself as he hauled North Island from the ocean - enjoy commentary from our team of expert, local guides, before completing 5 epic ziplines, ranging from 200 - 620m in length, followed by a walk back to base through our native tree nursey and regenerating forest.
Our twin cables make this a unique experience as, unlike other zipline tours, you can fly side-by-side with a friend or family member down lines totalling more than 2.2km in length. At EcoZip Adventures, you'll find we've turned a usually solo experience in to a highly social one!
Conservation is at the heart of our business, so while riding our ziplines is, undeniably, huge fun and something you can share with friends, family and colleagues, you can do it knowing that, by zipping with us, you’re directly contributing to the preservation and protection of a beautiful, yet once threatened, piece of New Zealand. Native tree planting and pest eradication programmes are set to return the site to its beautiful, untouched state; so, when you stroll through our regenerating bush with your zipline guide, you’ll gain a glimpse of 100% Pure New Zealand, experience our dedication to protecting it and hear the stories of how this spectacular land has changed and adapted, before being returned back to Kaikōura.
Join us and experience fun, excitement, laughter and adventure all just a 2.5 hour drive from Christchurch, or 2 hour drive from Picton. Leave with lifelong memories and the knowledge that, by visiting you've contributed to the lasting conservation of an important environmental legacy.
We know you won’t be disappointed
