Everything New Zealand

If you haven’t heard of Ziplining before, we guarantee – once you have experienced it – that you will be recommending this adventure thrill ride to everyone! A zipline – similar to a flying fox – is a pulley suspended on a cable above the trees. Essentially, you are zipping down the mountain from tree to tree in one awesome adventure. While you are up there on the decks, you’ll have the chance to enjoy glorious New Zealand from up high, with stunning views of Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu and the magnificent Remarkables Mountain Range with <a href="/en/queenstown/ziptrek-kea-tour">Ziptrek/a>. Or immerse yourself in native forest with <a href="/en/rotorua/rotorua-forest-zipline-ultimate-canopy-tour">Canopy Tour</a> in Rotorua. Ziplining is zip-tastic fun for the whole family, or for anyone who loves the outdoors, nature and excitement.
