Fantastic day and well worth doing! I did the 4 wire adventure and now wished I did the longer faster one!! The guides were great, the weather a little cold so wrap up however the views and experiance far out weighed the cold!!! I would totally put this on the must do list!! More

I went on the 4 wire experience but after doing it I wished I had booked in for the 6 wire one. The guides were fun, helpful and confident which was great as I'm a bit of a wimp. But I really enjoyed the zip wire experience and the views were stunning. I would really recommend this attraction if you... More

We did the full 6-line experience in February and had very professional and friendly guides. While it was fun I thought it got boring after a while - there are only so many ways one can ride a zip line and frankly they don't feel all that different. You can't see much of Queenstown while on the tour as it's... More

We arrived in QT just before 5 and managed to get booked in for last run of day. Sadly there wasn't time for us to do 6 line but we managed the 4. It was sooooooooooooooo much fun. If you like zip wires then this is a must do - no faffing with climbing and playing with your own clips!... More

I loved the Ziptrek. I even went upside down, No hands. It looks scary, but its not to bad when you actually try it. We walked up the mountain/hill to get there, it was fun but a little hard. It also had a great views. The Ziptrek was a awesome experience! More

This was one of my favourite activities in Queenstown. I did the 6-line tour with two friends. We all had a fantastic time and were very glad we did the 6 lines (the last line is by far the best). The guides were very professional and enthusiastic and the parts of the tour involved with the implications of environmental conservation... More

My wife and I did the 6-line trip at Easter (NZ$179 each). A unique experience that took around two and a half hours, so pretty good value. While I am nervous about heights, the two guides (Molly from Coloradio and Squid from New Zealand) were very professional and checked all the equipment before each run. I found this very reassuring... More

The only regret I have is that I booked the four line tour instead of the six line tour. I loved it so much I wish there was more. The guides were wonderful - engaged everyone on the tour from the six year old to the grandparents - so enthusiastic and fun, they even taught us how to zip upside... More

The operation here is top notch! The guides were great, the education about NZ and the forest, along with sustainability was great! We did the 6 zip tour, which I highly recommend, the last zip is well worth it!! Perfect for beginners and kids as the guides really take great care of you! More
