- Pre-European native forest
- Spectacular views of Auckland
- Stunning Waiheke Island
From Cruise Port: Auckland
After being collected from Waiheke's ferry terminal you'll enjoy a mini-tour of the island's wonderful beaches, multi-million dollar properties and many boutique wineries en route to the Eco Zip site - situated high on a hillside overlooking Auckland, Rangitoto Island and the Hauraki Gulf.
Upon arrival at the purpose-built visitor centre you'll be checked-in, geared-up, and readied for one of New Zealand's most exciting and eco-friendly activities. Three dual ziplines (each over 200 metres long) will fly you smoothly and safely side-by-side with a partner or friend over a working vineyard and then over, and into, a stunning tract of original and regenerating native New Zealand forest.
Throughout you'll be accompanied by an expert guide - who is dedicated to ensuring your enjoyment and safety. On arrival at the end of the 3rd zipline you'll experience a spectacular interpretive walk back to the visitor-centre. Along the way your guide will share stories of local flora and fauna and the history of Waiheke, both Maori and European.
On completion of your zipline experience your mini-tour of Waiheke will continue as we deliver you back to Waiheke's ferry terminal in plenty of time for 'all aboard' in Auckland. Alternatively should you wish to linger on Waiheke you can be delivered to one of the island's many vineyards or restaurants.

My first time on a zip line and I'm so glad it was here! The location is beautiful and the staff are friendly and fun. They pick you up for the ferry port at Matiatia Wharf and take you back! The first line is over a vineyard, then second over a lot of ferns and then the third over the old growth forest. They're all dual lines so you can go at the same time as your partner. Definitely take walking shoes as there is a bush walk afterwards. Fortunately they provide sun block as I forgot mine. I would definitely recommend this trip, I had so much fun!
Couple really loved this
Very pleased client
Happy customer

Is the interpretive forest walk optional?
The guided element of the forest walk is optional, but the walk itself is not! Should you prefer to walk the track without guidance and commentary, the path is well marked. You will, however, need to be back at our visitor centre before your scheduled tour's van departure time.
What can I take with me on the flying fox ziplines and forest walk?
You can take a camera (or smartphone with camera) that can be attached to your clothing by its strap - to prevent it being dropped while on the ziplines.
Or you can also fit an average-sized smartphone or small digital camera in the pouch attached to your harness.
What time do we need to catch the ferry from Auckland?
The time shown on the booking voucher is the start time at the Waiheke Island ferry terminal, so you need to catch the ferry at least 45 minutes before that time.
