Kaikoura Ziplining & Native Forest Trail Kaikoura

Award-winning EcoZip Adventures Kaikoura offers state-of-the-art, giant, flying-fox ziplines and an eco-immersive native forest trail for nature lovers of all ages and abilities.

Your 3.5-hour eco-tourism adventures starts in the centre of town at EcoZip’s homebase, where you’ll meet some of our legendary crew who will prep you for your 15-minutes scenic shuttle ride south to our “gear up” and staging location!

From there, you’ll be transferred to a custom-built Unimog 4X4 that will carry you through the intertwined freshwater streams of the Kahutara river, then onto Rakanui Station. Then, get set to zip! Clip into 2.2km of high-flying fun across five giant ziplines side-by-side, where you’ll enjoy bird’s-eye views of the mountains and the ocean. Throughout your journey, you’ll be accompanied by two of our expert, local guides, who will describe the history of the region, share stories of the local people and explain how your participation in the EcoZip experience is helping to restore sections of Rakanui Station’s farmland back to native forest.
