Experience Kaikōura from a whole new perspective on this unforgettable EcoZip adventure combining giant dual ziplines, rugged mountain landscapes, and immersive native forest scenery. Set on the beautiful Rakanui Station just south of Kaikōura township, this eco-adventure delivers the perfect mix of adrenaline, nature, and breathtaking South Island views.
The journey begins in central Kaikōura where guests meet the EcoZip crew before heading out on a scenic shuttle ride through the countryside. After gearing up, the adventure continues aboard a custom-built 4X4 vehicle crossing the Kahutara River and winding through rolling farmland, waterfalls, braided rivers, and native bush. Along the way, expert local guides share stories of the region, Māori history, and Kaikōura’s unique landscapes while travelling deeper into the heart of Rakanui Station.
Then it’s time to take flight across five epic dual ziplines stretching more than 2.2 kilometres in total. Flying side-by-side with a friend or family member, guests soar high above valleys, native forest, and lush farmland while soaking up spectacular 360-degree views of the Kaikōura mountains and coastline. Each zipline grows longer and more exhilarating, creating a shared experience filled with excitement, laughter, and unforgettable scenery.
After the final zipline, the adventure slows with a peaceful walk through regenerating native forest and the onsite tree nursery, offering a closer connection to the conservation work supported by every EcoZip experience. Combining thrilling adventure with environmental restoration and authentic local storytelling, this Kaikōura zipline experience is perfect for nature lovers, families, couples, and anyone wanting to discover one of New Zealand’s most spectacular landscapes in a truly unique way.
