Hi...I have 2 questions:
1.Where do you start from for the Moa 4 line run?...can you take the hiking trail up for this?
2. Can you wear a hip pouch when zip lining, I hope? Thank you
Comments
The Moa 4 line starts at the top of the ziplining. Once you finish the 4 lines you will be required to walk about 10 mins back to the top of the hill. You are able to hike the trail up it takes approx 1 hour from the bottom of the gondola. You are not able to carry anything with you though your guide will have a large bag where you can store things as well as storing your belongings at the top were you will be required to end with your gear.
Hi, I was wondering if a fanny pack would be allowed on the excursion.
Comments
For this activity, you will not be able to bring a backpack or any other baggage such as a fanny pack on tour with you. You will be wearing a full-body harness and a bag will interfere with this harness. We recommend you leave your personal belongings at your accommodation or you can store small items at the Treehouse for the Moa and Kereru tour guests. If you are doing the Kea tour, please bring as little as possible as all personal belongings will need to fit in the tour guide's bag which will be zipped down to the bottom with you.
Is it safe for week 12-13 expecting women to play the 4 Line tour?
Comments
Hi Dawn, pregnant guests are not allowed to participate I'm afraid

Hi Tammi, absolutely! The ziplining course is pretty sheltered under all the trees so unless the rain is torrential, you should be good to zipline. Ziptrek even provide coats to keep you warm and dry :)

Hi there,
I'm visiting Queenstown in June and I'm keen on doing the ZIptrek. Can i check if it will be available in winter? Thank you/

Yes the Ziptrek tour in Queenstown does operate all year and you can do it during the winter time. There are often clear blue sky days during winter so its a great time to take in the amazing sights of Queenstown and the lake from the treetops.

I was looking at prices and their are special rates that go up until the 23rd of December. Does this mean you have to go on the tour before this date or can you purchase before this date and use in January?
Comments
The Ziptrek early bird special in Queenstown does operate all year except for the busy peak Christmas period from the 23rd December to the 12th January. So if you do want to book for after the 12th January you can still book the special.
hi, could you please tell me the maximum weight?

Hello
How many people are allowed on each Ziptrek tour? I am traveling to New Zealand at the beginning of March and was looking into your tour. Also, are there group rates?
Thank you!
Comments
Hi Brooke. Each of the Queenstown Ziptrek tours can accommodate 8 - 10 people at the same time. For groups larger than this we can arrange for the group to be split up so that they travel 15 minutes or so after one another. How many people are in your group?
Hello - can you let me know the recommended footwear for going on the zip wire please? Many thanks!
Comments
Hi Vivienne, comfortable, enclosed shoes are suitable for the Ziptrek. Sneakers are ideal. Any shoes that aren't going to fall off while your are on the Ziptrek and also that are comfortable for walking on uneven surfaces will be perfect.
hi, How many meters long is each zipline?????
Hi Angelina. The average length of each zip line in Queenstown is about 100 metres. Some are a bit shorter and some a bit longer.
Hi there. if i wanted to book the 10am Ziptrek, could i still buy the package with the Gondola, Lunch and Luge but use the gondola in the morning to get to the Ziptrek and then do lunch and luge after? Is there flexibility around this? Also i saw somewhere it said that if you book an adult now you could get $30 off each one, is this incorrect?
Comments
Hi Chantelle. Yes, absolutely you can do this. If you book the Moa 4 line Ziptrek in Queenstown then you will be finished by about 12pm and you can then go and have lunch at either 12.30pm or 1pm at the Skyline restaurant and do the luge rides afterwards. You are welcome to head up the gondola any time in the morning before your Ziptrek tour. Yes, the off peak price is $30 cheaper and is valid for the 10am Moa 4 Line tour. Once you book online we will email your booking confirmation straight back.
Are advance bookings mandatory or can we book in on the day?
Comments
Hi Jasmine. Many tours in Queenstown book up several days if not weeks in advance, especially during the busy summer and winter periods and school holidays. It is also worth noting that the morning off peak Ziptrek tours are cheaper and often heavily booked so its definitely worthwhile booking in advance.
When is the off=peak time for the Moa tour? we will be in Queenstown Dec 20-25th
Comments
Hi Carma. The off peak special rates are available all year on the Moa 4 Line and Kea 6 Line Ziptrek except during the busy Christmas period from the 23rd December to the 10th January. During this time you can still book the first trip of the day but its at the normal rate rather than the special.
Ziptrek Moa ride, can I do the ride with my 5 and half year old son attached to me on this ride.
Comments
Hi Nigel, if your 5 and a half year old is under 30kg then they can still go on the Moa ride but will go tandem with a guide. Hopefully they may be able to do some of the lines on their own without the guides assistance otherwise they will be harnessed with the guide. They are unable to ride with a parent on the same harness for safety reasons. Children under 30kg are unable to ride tandem with the guide on the last few lines of the Kea tour so it is best to stick on the Moa course if you have a child under 30kg.
Hi there,
We are heading over from Australia. My Daughter is 6 and my son is 8 but they both weigh under 30Kg. If we do the Moa -4 can the guide(s) accomodate to do tandem for both?
Comments
Hi Luke, yes you certainly can bring along both of your daughters who are under 30kg to do the Moa Ziptrek. Hopefully in some areas they will be able to go on their own on the zipline and if not then they will be put tandem with the guides.
Hello. Does the off peak price include
getting to the location of the 4 ziptreck on the gondola
Comments
Hi Dave. If you book the Ziptrek Eco Tour in Queenstown then you will also have to pay for the Skyline gondola ride at the bottom in order to get to the summit where the Ziptrek departs from. The cost is $25 per adult. Some people do choose to walk up the hiking track instead which takes about 45 minutes.
Do you have a 5:20pm for the 6-line in October 2013?
Comments
Hi Deanna, unfortunately the 5.20pm Ziptrek doesn't start operating until December. During October there will be the 10.20am off-peak, the 1.40pm and 3.20pm departures.
Can I take my own GoPro on the Ziptrek?
Comments
Hi Silvia, yes you can take your GoPro on the Ziptrek tours with you.
Hi I have arthritis in my knees and lower back. I can't walk long distances - can you tell me how long the walks are on the Mao 4 line tour please.
Comments
Hi Julie, with the Ziptrek Moa Line the only walking you have to do is at the end of the tour and that includes a 7-10 minute walk back up to the top of the tree house. The walk is up hill but is on a wide, well maintained rd.
Hi, I'm heading over from Aussie land to NZ in feb with my folks (70yrs of age) Is this suitable for two reasonably fit seniors? Are the harnesses comfortable? And do you do seniors discount?
Also how high is this? I have a slight fear of heights, but not too bad.
Thanks
Sarah
Comments
Hi Sarah. Yes, many folks over 70 have enjoyed the Ziptrek in Queenstown. There is actually a seniors rate for over 65+ customers of $79 for the 4 Line tour or $129 for the 6 Line tour (longer and steeper). I think they would be fine on either tour although the 4 Line tour is not as high or fast. The harnesses are comfortable. The maximum height you are above the ground is about 10 metres
Hi What times of the year are the off peak times and do you have a special for 2 or 4 people?
Comments
Hi Shannan, the Moa 4 Line's off peak time is at 10am and the Kea 6 Line off peak is at 10.20am. These off peak times are offered throughout the year except from mid December through January. Unfortunately there is no further special for 2 to 4 people rather you will receive the discount by going on the off-peak times.
Hi there.
Our family (2ad+3kids) will be in Queenstown around the 18th- 21st July. Will the 'special' and/or 'off peak' prices still be available then?
Thanks
Sandra
Comments
Hi Sandra. Yes the Ziptrek Eco Tour in Queenstown off peak prices are available all year except for over the busy Christmas period between Christmas & New Year.
How demanding is the 45 mins walk up to the 6 line Ziptrek Ecotour?
Comments
Hi Jennifer, the 45 minute walk up to the Ziptrek is fairly steep and requires a reasonable level of fitness however it is a stunning walk and you can take your time walking up having as many breaks as you feel the need for.
I notice it says no-one with recent injuries should participate; I sustained a knee injury in early April, and I'm fully mobile now - I only have occasional twinges if they receive a shock or too much downward pressure; is this likely to be a problem to participate?
Comments
Hi Robin. The Ziptrek tour in Queenstown is really gentle on your body and will not put any undue stress on your knees at all. The only thing you will need to be mindful of if you have knee concerns is the walking between ziplines as there are quite a few steps you need to walk down and a prety well made make shift path down through the forest that can get a little slippery at times if it has been raining but apart from that the Ziplining will not be a problem for you at all.
What is the off peak that says in the price?
Comments
Hi Gregory the off peak price is a cheaper option because of the time of day that it is. The Moa 4 line tour is $129 and runs at 12pm or 2pm however you can select the off peak tour which runs at 10am and pay only $99. The Kea 6 line is $179 at 1.40pm or off peak it is $149 at 10.20am.
Hi, my son is 6 and weighs 28kg. Would he need to tandem with a staff member or could he tandem with a family member on the 4 line? Thanks
Telina
Comments
Hi Telina. The minimum age for the Ziptrek 4 line or 6 line tours is 6 years old. The minimum weight requirement is 30kgs. As your son is under this requirement he can do a tandem Moa 4 Line Ziptrek tour. This will be with one of the qualified instructors.
How we can use this
Comments
Hi Arvind. This is like a flying fox that takes you through the forest. You have a harness on and are taken down the hill with spectacular views of Queenstown on your journey.
Hi we have a car and could drive up tho the top. Is the finish at the bottum though??
Comments
Hi Yoka. There is no road to the top of Ziptrek. You either have to take the Skyline Gondola to the top or alternatively there is a walking track that you can take up the hill to get to the top. If you walk you will need to allow about 45 minutes to get to the top.
I noticed that the information about this, says no items are to be carried. Not even a video camera? Do you do your own video`s of your customers, so they can buy it at the end of the tour?
Comments
Hi Julie. If you have a camera or small video recording device you can bring it with you to the Ziptrek Eco Tour in Queenstown. We recommend they have a wrist or neck strap so that you can attach it to yourself when zipping.
Hi--another question. My friend and I are planning to book this, but we are both interested in the Kea route, however niether of us has ziplined before. Is it okay for beginners to do the longer line?
Thanks!!
Comments
Hi Stephanie. Yes absolutely. Beginners can do the Kea 6 Line Ziptrek as no previous experience is required.
What exactly is the "off peak" special?
Comments
Hi Stephanie the "off peak" special is a time related special. If you book the 10.20am Kea 6 line Ziptrek then you will get it for $149 instead of $179. Likewise if you book the 10am Moa 4 line Ziptrek you will get it for $99 as oppose to $129.
Thank you very much!! I wasn't sure if it had to do with anything besides the time of day.
Is there a combo that includes the Ziptrek, Shotover Jet and helicopter flight?
Comments
Hi Hayley, the Queenstown Combo includes the Shotover Jet, Ziptrek 4 Line Tour, Helicopter Flight as well as a ride on the Skyline Gondola and visit to the Skyline Complex. Check out the folllowing link for further information on this product: Queenstown Combo.
How many people can go on the 4-line tour maximum?
Comments
Hi Gemma, Ziptrek can take a maximum group size of 10 people on the 4 line trip.
Where is the start point for 4-line tour? Do we need to take the skyline and is that inclusive in the package?
Hi Mimi, the starting point for the Ziptrek Moa Tour is at the top of the Skyline Gondola. You can either take the gondola to the top or walk up the track which takes about 45 minutes - 1 hour. The Skyline gondola ticket is not included in the price of your Ziptrek unfortunately.

93% of new customers that used Everything Queenstown to provide advice and securely book their Queenstown activities have let us know they've had a good or excellent experience with us. Thank you.
Thank you for your question about the Ziptrek Ecotours. As the 17-year-old is attending, it is fine for the 14-year-old to do the activity with them. Anyone above the age of 15 years + is counted as an adult.
