About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- MummaandCo0 contributionsMountain bikingWe came as a pre booked group with some doing zip lining & some doing biking. They faffed around so so much trying to find our booking & sending us back between guest services & bike hire three times, very frustrating!! The lift operators were all very helpful & friendly. It was fun but even the green tracks are somewhat challenging for newbies. Hard on your body. Service at the bar afterwards so slow and only one in front of us. An amazing place though, very impressive!Written 30 September 2024
- TanyaH2900 contributionsChristchurch HolidayAmazing attraction. Fantastic views. Park offers lots of activities including mountain bike riding, ziplines, chairlift and more. Fantastic options for all. Chairlift was great. Cafe with lots of food and drink.options. Friendly staff RecommendWritten 21 September 2024
- Escape101168722650 contributionsPro tips, cool tracks & fine tuning skillsExcellent - you can't beat form and technique. Despite us having bikes throughout our childhood, learning the pro tips was a game changer for us - it made All the difference. Highly recommend, so much fun, we were worried it was going to be too basic but we were riding tracks and up in the hills during this class and happily tired after 8ks of tracks. Tutor was excellent, she kept it fast moving and upscaled the training in parts to keep us challenged.Written 31 August 2024
- rumblegunn0070 contributionsZiplineHad a great time doing this zipline in Christchurch's Port Hills Adventure Park. Our guides were super (Jarred and Jake). They were very safety conscious making sure we knew exactly what to do but at the same time gave us confidence and lightened the mood for those like me who were a bit scared at the first zipline start off. By the third one I was hooked. I would definitely recommend this activity if you enjoy doing something a bit different. Great views and adrenaline rush! Thanks to the wonderful guides again.Written 18 June 2024

- StuartT13640 contributionsZip lines a unique and must do activity in ChristchurchA wonderful afternoon trying the 4 line experience. Great staff who provided clear instructions and equipment was top notch. The gondola ride to the top was smooth with great views. The zip lines were amazing. The views are outstanding and it’s brilliant flying down the different lines. A truely uniques experience that I would highly recommend. Our guides Carlos and Sam were so personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. There was 8 of us in our group so quick transitions between the lines and from start to finish it took just over 2 hours.Written 31 December 2023

Wow totally recommend the Zipline Tour !!
Much better than I expected this tour is excellent value at $130 pp. Very well organised tour, a fun time with friendly guides who really know what they are doing. We felt completely confident that we were safe on each of the 4 runs. Freezing at the top but so much fun, it was really good.
Only negative ! the queue inside waiting to sign the Waiver Ts&Cs is messy and slow .. apparently you can do it online before arriving which would be better

We’ve zip lined in Costa Rica, Roatan, Paradise near Queenstown, Alaska, and a 4,000 foot zip line on Kauai. Next to the zip line on Kauai, this one tops them all.
The two guides emphasized safety procedures before starting and gearing up at the base office. Once geared up, we walked to the chair lift which would take four of us at a time to the top of the mountain where we walked down a trail to the first line. On the way up on the chair lift we saw zip liners riding far above us on the first of four lines. It was a little scary.
Once everyone reached the first launching platform, the guides reviewed safety procedures again and rigged the first two riders. Each person carries a trolly which will carry them on the zip lines. The first two lines are the shortest, but very high. Riding the first two lines prepares riders for the longer third line and the longest fourth line. What a blast. If you like zip lining, don’t miss this one.

After getting geared up with all our safety equipment we headed off with our 2 guides to a great chairlift. After an amazing ride up into the hills we get some fab panoramic photos back down to Christchurch. Now for the really fun bit - the ziplines! I loved that there were dual lines, bringing a bit of racing competitiveness to the whole adventure. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time. We had a great time!

I really loved the zipline itself - amazing view, great staff taking us, fantastic experience! My only flaw would be the price. We took the single zip line for $75, and felt although the experience was awesome, it was quite overpriced for what you get. Would have loved a complimentary photo, or video of the experience, and some background information of the park whilst driving to the location. Just felt like the tour was overpriced and expensive. Next time I would pay a little bit more and do the full tour.

We had the pleasure of Jake, Bryn and Dion as our tour guides. As mature women, they were attentive, friendly, and built confidence that we could do this! Just lovely young ambassadors for your company.
In comparison to other tourist activities would definitely recommend!

Christchurch Zipline tour was absolutely breathtaking
Our guides, Chris and George were friendly, professional and made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the tour.
Chris and George were able to answer all our questions and put our nerves at ease (at one point Chris starting singing!)
Everything was explained to us so we knew exactly what was expected and what was happening the whole time.
Could not recommend enough!
Will be back.

This was SO much fun and such a great way to see the top of the town. Our guides, Sam and Kate, were so young and fun. They entertained us the whole time and made those of us a little weary feel safe and excited. What a fun couple of hours. Totally worth it and then head to town for lunch and a beer :)

Great fun with amazing views. All lines are tandem creating fun with a bit of friendly competition, access to the top is via chair lift (short walks between lines), comfortable seated harnesses which is great coz these ziplines are loooonggggg!! (not as comfortable when walking so suggest longer pants so they don't rub but not essential). There is a cafe onsite as well as mountain biking facilities.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy stunning views of Christchurch with some adventure/fun - good for anyone and everyone!

Enjoy the nature as swaddle around the nature paths and tracks! The moment you went on the zip line, you push yourself along the breeze and swiftly line down as you scream to the top of your lungs. This experience is surely one to desire and one to never forget!4 different lines with with each having their differences as you end in a relief and a large smile on your face.This is an extreme recommendation from me.

Did the 4zipline tour on a beautiful day in Christchurch. The initial introduction was informal professional and friendly. The donning of the equipment was also professional.
The tour itself was magnificent with each line explained and completed with great customer service.
Very proud to have this facility in Christchurch

Can we get a video of our zip line after we've done it or have people used their own go pros to record it??
Many thanks
Written 14 August 2019
We used a hand held GoPro, which worked well for us. I do not think that they video it.

I like to lay back.
It's a zip line, you can hold on if you choose, throw your arms out, go limp like a rag doll, the experience is up to you, on the last line you go from mountain to mountain so it is quite amazing. There was a storm when I went so it was like being hit by 20 billion tiny agonizing daggers ..... incredibly painful but exhilarating but that is part of the rush! Will I get hit by lightning or not!?

hi, looking at bringing a family of 4 in december, chair lift and zip line. does that work together?
Written 13 January 2019
Sure does, the chair lift comes with the zip line price. You catch the chair lift to the top of the mountain and then zip line back down!
