      Time of my life
      Booked in the full zip- 2.5h of smiling so hard my face could fall off. Not just the time on the zip line, but laughing at the jokes of the guides. Rosco and Howie were a great pair, bounced off each other and gave as good as they got. Real genuine people and a tour that gave a different perspective of the park.

      Did Zipline only-well run & fun activity just outside the city
      Adventure park that’s a lot more pleasant & much less dangerous than the adventure park in Jackass’s Johnny Knoxville’s documentary “Class Action Park”.:) Tried ziplining once about 15 years ago at a national park in the deepest canyon in Colombia & it was quite “meh”-almost w/o any thrill at all so this was never on my radar again. But it was my last full day in NZ/Christchurch & it was already a cloudy day after the prior day which was pure sunny bliss walking around CC so I said, what the heck. Still didn’t blow me away (been skydiving & hang glider so much more of an adrenaline rush) but it was a good clean fun couple of hrs. w/our “zippy” masters-Howie, a local, & Sam, a refugee from Antifa-d Portlandia, where I also escaped from but only about 2 decades earlier before the war was fully on. These mateys kept things peachy w/their dry Pythonesque humour in between 4 full rides w/2 of them on the longest line as well as the highest line in Kiwilandia.

      Totally amazing experience, flying through the air you feel so free.
      My daughter and I had an amazing time, and the guides that came with us, were fun and friendly and made the experience totally unique. Would highly recommend going to the adventure park.

      Adventure before debenture.
      The experience was very good, it is a pity it could not be a little cheaper, I would readily do it again. I am 76 and a pensioner.

      Great experience even for the slightly anxious!
      Because some in our group were afraid of heights, we opted to do just the single, longest zip. Wish we had gone for all four! Sam and Paul were great at setting anxious minds at rest with their confident and thorough approach to safety and explaining how everything worked. Recommend this activity to anyone keen to try something a slightly bit scary. Well worth the money.

      see it for yourself
      superlatives do not do the experience justice. It has to be experienced. Yes, the views were amazing and all that, the organisation was excellent and the staff were very friendly and professional. They were very kind towards those in the group who were less physically able than most of the rest and never made them feel that they were slowing us down or an inconvenience. We did the full 4 zip experience - yes, it is a bit expensive, but you are paying for the use of a lot of equipment and many staff, so I think it's a fair price. If you hire a go-pro, be aware that the footage you get may have been edited for brevity. I wanted all of it as I can do my own editing. To their eternal credit, even a few weeks after the rides, I was able to ask and they sent me the raw footage. Brilliant!

    Excellent - 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.

    We had some great experience at CAP. A group of friend (totally green to downhill) enrolled for the downhill apprentice lesson during Easter Break, we were guided by CJ & Megan, they provided some really good introduce to us total beginners. During the descending, they have been very patient with people at different skill levels. CJ was following one of our friends came down really slowly.

    That brought me to enrol Men’s clinics two weeks later. It was a very windy day, so CAP refunded chair lift did lesson only ($25). But I didn’t realise the lesson include taking us up the top of the hill by vehicle. We were let by Matt & Michael this time, who were really friendly & patient. Matt encouraged me to down the blue track & I learned heaps from him.

    We end up getting a free drink at the end. It was great value for money, I almost felt guilty for the amount of the money I paid compare to the experience I had!

    Hey Jason, thanks very much for the review and so glad to hear you've had some great experiences at CAP and got so much out of the lessons. We highly recommend for anyone at any skill level to take a few lessons as there will always be something to build on. Our Men's and Women's skill sessions always come with a free drink at the end of the session (all part of the fun and social aspect)! Hopefully see you back in the Park soon :)
