Full description

Embark on a guided tour in Kaikōura, where nature meets adventure. Nestled against the stunning backdrop of New Zealand's South Island, enjoy an eco-friendly ziplining experience and soar above the breathtaking landscapes of Kaikōura.

Make your way to Rakanui Station, a 3000-acre working farm with rolling valleys and hills covered in native trees, trickling rivers and fords, cascading waterfalls, and lush farmland. Start with a 4X4 expedition through the farm’s valleys and paddocks and past grazing livestock.

Then, follow a short natural trail through the native New Zealand forest to where the adventure stage of your zipline experience begins. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you glide through the air, suspended by ziplines that traverse lush forests and reveal panoramic views of the ocean.

As you zip from platform to platform, gain insights into the local flora, fauna and conservation efforts from your guides, adding an educational element to your adventure.
