Head to the stunning Waiheke Island, where you can embark on an exhilarating and healing adventure combining ziplining and pristine forest exploration amid lush native forests. Unleash your inner explorer and encounter the true beauty of nature.

The journey begins with a ferry from Auckland city centre, with two daily departures at 09:00 or 13:00 to flexibly suit your travel plans. During the 40‑minute ferry ride, the sea breeze gently brushes your ears, carrying a fresh scent of sea salt, while the blue waters of the Hauraki Gulf unfold before you. Distant island silhouettes appear faintly, letting the fatigue of city life quietly dissipate in the sea breeze and glistening waves, allowing you to start relaxing ahead of time.

Upon arriving at Matiatia Wharf on Waiheke Island, two enthusiastic and humorous English‑speaking guides will be waiting. They will lead you on a 20‑minute introductory island tour, using vivid and interesting stories and sharp commentary to unlock the island's hidden gems, from vineyard charm to coastal vistas, giving you a quick taste of Waiheke's unique allure.

Then, step into the centuries‑old native forest for the core experience of this adventure—the zipline. Three 200‑metre‑long dual ziplines allow you to soar side by side with a companion, gliding from one canopy to another, with lush forest vegetation beneath your feet and a gentle breeze rushing past your ears. Immerse yourself in the thrill of flying through the air and unlock a new perspective of the forest.

After the thrill, the guide will lead you on a relaxing woodland walk, strolling along peaceful forest paths as they share tales of the forest's centuries‑old history, stories of native flora and fauna, and the bond between Māori culture and this land. Amid the changing scenery, feel a close connection with nature.

Break free from the routine and embark on this adventure with EcoZip Adventures—soar among the treetops, wander through the forest, and experience both the adrenaline rush of ziplining and the serene healing of pristine nature. Get ready for a breathtaking, unforgettable adventure and create your own lasting memories amidst New Zealand's magnificent natural scenery!
