Ecotours mean that they are self sustainable and adopts best practices to care for the nature. The instructors gave us a very good introduction of their sound business model and history of the surronding área. We did the 6 zipline tour in Jun13. The ziplines are very safe, with doublé harness and brakes manually triggered by the instructors, which created... More

Thank you Joe for your comments. We're pleased you enjoyed the safety and environmental element of our tour. These are two critical areas of our business of which we receive frequent positive feedback and are proud of the balance we have achieved. Contrary to your comment, our lines are gravity fed so the controlled braking system is only activated at... More

My husband and I, recently, did the 6 lines Ziptrek tour in Queenstown. The guides Hailey and Matt were awesome. Super friendly (I was really scared in the beginning) and helpful. The tour was fun and I loved the eco message and all the charts. And the last line was amazing!!! Totally recommend it!

Zip-lining was a little on the pricier side, but after learning about the ethics behind Ziptrek's company you feel better about spending that kind of money. The views are absolutely stunning. Rich and Josh were awesome guides... Safety-conscious but fun. Informative about Queenstown, geography and sustainability to top it all off.

Had a great time on the six line Kea tour with our guides Josh and Rich. They were fun but professional and kept us feeling safe at all times. The zip lines themselves are amazing fun and you get taught how to do extra fun stuff like turn yourself upside down. The views are incredible too. I liked the Eco... More

We did the six line tour. Didn't love the long and steep the walk from line five to six is, but the guides were fun and informative while keeping everyone safe and moving along. The lines themselves were extremely fun. And the guides issued gloves and hats (it was quite chilly that day) to keep everyone comfortable, which was a... More

My son and I did then6 wire line and had a wonderful time. The views were outstanding. We also enjoyedbthebeco part of the tour - learned a lot about the area and ecology. The guides do a nice job teaching you a trick on each line. We really enjoyed the tour.

Not an awful experience, but also not a great one. Mom & I signed up for the 4-line tour. There were 4 other people with us, so a total of 6 people on the tour. Turns out Mom is super terrified of heights, and couldn't bring herself to make the final step off the stairs to begin the "ziptrek". :[... More
