Overview

4 Ziplines | 1.5–2 Hours | Fun for Everyone

Your perfect introduction to adventure in Queenstown.

Journey through native forest on four incredible ziplines, with sweeping views across Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range. It starts low and relaxed, then gradually builds in length, height and speed as your confidence grows.

By the final line, you’ll be grinning.

Two expert guides lead every tour, creating a fun, interactive experience from start to finish. They’ll fit your harness and helmet, manage every launch and landing, and share insights into the local environment, native species and the surrounding landscape.

Tours operate with small groups (minimum 2, maximum 10 guests), ensuring a safe, personal and engaging experience.

You’ll finish back at the Ziptrek Treehouse after ziplining partway down Bob’s Peak, with a short 10-minute uphill walk to wrap up the adventure.
