In the half-light of pre-dawn take to the skies in our EC130

Eurocopter. This spacious, high-end helicopter features a comfortable cabin and large windows, ideal for sightseeing.

After take-off, you’ll fly inland, over lakes, rivers and plains, toward the mountains of the
Seaward Kaikōura Ranges, where you’ll land for a unique photo opportunity. Taking to
the skies again, you’ll track down the coast towards EcoZip’s base at beautiful Rakanui
Station, a working Kiwi hill farm.

Landing at Rakanui, meet your zipline guides who’ll supply the glasses and a
bottle of local champagne (or orange juice) so you toast the dawn. Next, in the quiet and
solitude of the early morning, you’ll enjoy your zipline experience in your private group.
As this is your exclusive tour, you set the pace, allowing you to enjoy the spectacular
views as you walk between zipline decks, listening to birdsong and, in the gathering
light, watching the Kaikōura peninsula come to life. At the end of the 5th zipline you’ll
undertake a short walk beneath the canopy of native New Zealand forest, before
boarding your vehicle for the return journey, back to the hustle and bustle of Kaikōura.

As a memento of your experience, EcoZip Kaikoura will plant 5 eco-sourced New Zealand native trees for
each member of your party, creating a permanent bond between you and lovely Rakanui.
