EcoZip Adventures
In 2010, EcoZip’s founders conceived the idea in a small bar on Auckland’s North Shore. Seeking to showcase the country’s beauty, they envisioned a zipline adventure. With a focus on long-range views, social interaction on dual ziplines, native forests, sustainable business, and cutting-edge technology, the EcoZip concept was born.
