Ziptrek Ecotours

The Moa 4-line tour runs for 2 hours and the Kea 6-Line tour runs for 3 hours.  Both tours run at regular intervals throughout the day. Check in time is 15 minutes before the tour is scheduled to start at the Ziptrek Tree-house. Please allow 40 minutes from the base of the Gondola to the Ziptrek Tree-house.

The Skyline Gondola pass is not included and can be purchased directly from the Skyline terminal building on the day of your tour.

Ziptrek tours run in all weather conditions.  Keep in mind you are entering a mixed alpine forest and whilst it does rain or snow, you are provided with some level of shelter through the tree canopy.  We also provide wet weather jackets and hats and gloves, if required.

Reservations are essential.  We book a maximum of 10 people on a tour and therefore can sell out quickly. In order to guarantee a place on tour at the time that will work best with you, please call our sales desk.
