Located on beautiful Waiheke Island, Eco Zip offers nature-lovers young and old a state-of-the-art, dual zip-line and New Zealand native forest encounter. This is one of Auckland’s newest, most accessible and most exciting eco-tourism experiences.
Take the ferry to Waiheke Island and enjoy a mini-tour past the island’s wonderful beaches, multi-million-dollar properties, and myriad boutique wineries en route to the zip-line site. The purpose-built visitor center is situated high on a hillside, providing commanding views of Auckland, Rangitoto Island and the Hauraki Gulf.
Check in, gear up, and get ready for one of New Zealand’s most exciting eco-activities. Three dual zip-lines, each more than 650 feet long, will fly you smoothly, side by side with a buddy, over the working vineyard and then over and into a stunning tract of original and regenerating native New Zealand bush (forest). Expert guides are dedicated to ensuring your enjoyment.
Follow your guide on an interpretive walk back to the visitor center, shaded by a canopy of both regenerating and pre-European forest. Hear stories of the local flora and fauna, the Maori and European history of Waiheke Island, and how Eco Zip is helping to both restore and preserve this Site of Environmental Significance.
Return to downtown Auckland by ferry.
