EcoZip Adventures Waiheke

About

EcoZip runs three ziplines across Trig Hill in the middle of Waiheke's wine country, and the lines are dual cabled so you ride side by side rather than one at a time. The second line runs two hundred metres over the forest canopy with the city in view. The third, Kuri nui, is 220 metres on the steepest gradient and gets past fifty kilometres an hour. What makes it more than a zipline is what comes after. A 1.4 kilometre guided walk back down through native forest, parts of it more than seven hundred years old, with commentary on the birds, the trees and the Māori history of the place. Transfers from Matiatia are included, with free drop-off at partner vineyards afterwards. Riders need to be between thirty and 125 kilos. Allow about three hours door to door.
