Ecozip Tours

Troy and Ellie were very pleasant tour guides for our ziplining experience, and we were impressed by the equipment (such as the nice ladder they use to get you down at the end of each line, the new platforms and wooden walkways on the hike back to the starting point). I only wish there were more than just three zips, but then that would probably entail transporting customers from the end point. Our driver who picked us up from the ferry and dropped us off afterward was very pleasant as well, giving a nice guided tour of the island as he drove us to our destination.

Eco Zip Tour auf Waiheke Island
Eine schöné Insel mit sehr viel Potenzial!
Mehr als 15 Weingüter und unzählige Strände.
Wunderbare Landschaften sind hier zu bewundern, denn sie sind noch so unberührt wie man sich das vorstellt.
Dann gibt es da noch die Freizeitgestaltung. Ich habe mich für die Eco Zip Tour entschieden und wurde auch nicht enttäuscht. Über die Weinfelder hinweg ging es immer weiter in den Urwald. Der Höhepunkt war eine Zipline über den Wald. Höchster Punkt war 55m und 250m lang. Es gab leider nur 3 Strecken, aber es halt viel Spaß gemacht

Soo much FUN! Whoo hoo! Flying through the air with the greatest of ease! Stunning, really. It was my first time zip lining so needless to say I was a little timid (scared sh*tless). But the guides were so amazingly professional and reassuring, not to mention just down right cool, that I felt completely comfortable in letting them strap me up and then off I went! Such a brilliant experience! I cannot wait to go back and do it again. Such glorious views! There are three lines you get to zip through and then there is about a half hour walk back up to the main office through a gorgeous rain forest. And what a great walk it was! We even hugged trees (big smile), it was incredibly grounding, really, and just so beautifully uplifting. If you get the chance, go. Go zip line here!

So… they sell these ingenious rubber bungee cords that can wrap around your phone/​device if you want to use it while on the zip lines. Incredible… I bought one and used it during my entire trip in New Zealand. This is probably most enticing for those that don’t own Go-​Pros. The Go-​Pro owners reading this are probably snickering at me… ;)
Ecozip will pick you up at the ferry station, drive you 10 – 15 minutes along a beautiful road with a few scenic views, suit you up in well-​maintained clean gear, and even take pictures for you during your zipline experience. The zips were pleasant, and I would recommend this course to anyone who is new to ziplining or working on overcoming a fear of heights.
One of my favorite (and unexpected) parts of the experience was the 20 minute hike back to the main station. Our zipline guide did a great job explaining the plant life and tales of the forest. Bonus!

This was a great experience. The view enhanced the experience and the guides were very personable. A guide named Troy was very professional and a good bloke

What a great experience! The island is so beautiful and zip lining was out of this world. Everyone was so friendly and made my day.
