Awesome Guides Awesome Experience

Travis and Vincent were awesome! I had the absolute best time with them. This was my first attempt at zip lining and both gave great instructions and made this an adventure I will always remember

Hop out of ur confort zone.

Very professional and personalized guides who made us feel at ease through the activity. Recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of adventure with a neat review of bush management and rehabilitation included.

Great experience for 8 and 6 year old first time ziplining.

Our family group of 5 had a great adventure with Steph and Trevor. They prepared us well with safety guidance presented with humor. The van ride to the site was made fun by a shared "ice-breaking" introduction round. The safety harness was actually more comfortable than previous times I have ziplined. The safety gear for slowing participants on landing (or retrieving stuck ones) was also an improvement over other times (at other locations). We appreciate the free photos, rather than an upsell. They gave us tips on each zipline and bridge on how to get the most enjoyment. The kids were initially a little nervous, but quickly settled in. It was amazing to see them confidently step off the platform and zip away! They loved the bird feeding and were ready for more at the end. Our group of five plus another family of three was just the right size. The short presentation on the eco mission was interesting and raised our understanding of the beautiful forest.

Absolutely amazing...

Absolutely amazing ziplining experience….The location was stunning, the tour itself was very informative and the staff made the whole experience more enjoyable. Will definitely return next time I’m back in NZ.

Excellent zip wire, up to 400 yards long and quite a few different ones.

We were picked up at our hotel beforehand and dropped off afterwards. There were 4our people on our tour which gave the guide plenty of time to give us very interesting local information. The zipwire was great. Very safe, we were well hooked on. I highly recommend it if you like this kind of thing which I do.
