Ziptrek - Kea Tour
3 Hours
Price from £91 per person
Join your Ziptrek Ecotours team at the Ziptrek Tree-House to commence a fully guided tour through the forest via a series of observation platforms and flying foxes. The six flying foxes on the Kea Tour operate on cables anchored between treetop platforms spread out down the hill for about a kilometre, the equivalent length of 10 rugby pitches. Clients are outfitted with a climbing harness then attached to the cable and soar down the cable to the next platform while viewing the spectacular surroundings from any angle they wish. Experienced guides will deliver an interpretive tour as guests "Zzziiiiiip" from tree to tree on a journey that combines exhilaration, adventure, and ecological exploration. Highlights include a 20 minute guided trek through ancient native beech forest along the 'Tiki Trail' and the steepest tree-to-tree flying fox in the world.
