Soar Through Nature with EcoZip Adventures: Zipline and Eco-Forest Walk on Waiheke Island

Waiheke Island is known for its vineyards, beaches, and laid-back island charm — but for those seeking adventure and nature in one unforgettable experience, EcoZip Adventures offers the ultimate high-flying thrill.

Located on Trig Hill with panoramic views across the Hauraki Gulf, EcoZip is a state-of-the-art flying fox zipline and guided eco-immersive forest walk designed to connect visitors with the island’s spectacular natural environment. It’s ideal for adventurers of all ages and a standout activity for families, friend groups, and corporate teams alike.

The Journey Begins: Pick-Up and Island Tour

Your EcoZip experience starts the moment you arrive. A complimentary shuttle service collects guests from Matiatia Ferry Terminal or the Oneroa Village bus stop, offering seamless connection for those travelling by ferry from Auckland. On the short drive to Trig Hill, guests enjoy a mini guided tour of Waiheke, with insights into local history, landmarks, and island life.

This small touch turns a simple transfer into part of the adventure — offering first-time visitors a snapshot of what makes Waiheke so special.

Ziplining Side-by-Side Over Native Forest

Once you arrive, the real fun begins. After a friendly check-in and safety briefing, you’ll be harnessed up and ready to soar over a pristine native forest.

EcoZip features three dual flying fox ziplines, each measuring 200 metres in length. The dual setup means you can fly side-by-side with a friend, partner, or relative — laughing, cheering, or simply soaking in the views together as you glide down into the valley below.

Each line offers a slightly different perspective, with sweeping views over vineyards, coastline, and the regenerating forest. It’s an adrenaline rush without being extreme — a perfect balance of thrill and accessibility, making it a hit with both younger guests and older nature lovers.

A Gentle Return via a Guided Eco Walk

But the experience doesn’t end at the bottom. After your final zipline, your return journey is a guided nature walk through a tract of original and regenerating native bush. Led by knowledgeable local guides, the walk explores Waiheke’s unique flora and fauna, Maori plant uses, and the island’s ecological restoration story.

EcoZip has long been committed to sustainability and conservation, and their work to protect and nurture the land they operate on is a core part of the experience. You won’t just leave with great photos — you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the environment and the importance of preserving it.

Pricing & Packages

EcoZip Adventures offers excellent value for a half-day premium activity:

• Adult: $139

• Child (15 & under): $79

• Family Pass (2 adults + 2 children or 1 adult + 3 children): $357

These prices include not only the zipline and forest walk but also the free shuttle transfers, gear hire, and the Waiheke mini-tour. The full experience takes around 3 hours, making it easy to pair with a winery lunch, beach visit, or art gallery stop afterwards.

EcoZip also caters to corporate groups and team-building days, offering flexible packages for businesses looking to add a sense of adventure to their Waiheke retreat. There’s nothing quite like bonding over a treetop flight to spark connection, laughter, and team spirit.

A Must-Do Waiheke Experience

Whether you’re a visitor on a weekend getaway, planning a birthday adventure, looking for family-friendly activities, or organising a corporate escape, EcoZip hits the sweet spot between excitement, education, and connection with nature.

And the best part? It’s just 35 minutes from downtown Auckland. With fast and frequent ferries, and no need for a car, it’s the easiest island adventure to add to your Auckland itinerary.
