About your host
EcoZip AdventuresConservation is at the heart of our business, so while riding our ziplines is undeniably huge fun, and something you can share with friends, family and colleagues, you can do it knowing that by zipping with us, you are directly contributing to the preservation and protection of a beautiful, yet once threatened, piece of New Zealand. Native tree planting and pest eradication programmes are set to return the site to its beautiful, untouched state; so, when you stroll through our regenerating bush with your zipline guide, you’ll gain a glimpse of 100% Pure New Zealand, experience our dedication to protecting it and hear the stories of how this spectacular land has changed and adapted.
For every trip booked, Kodama Travel donates £1 to Just One Tree to restore our forests and the ocean.
