🏆 WE’RE FINALISTS for Tourism Industry Aotearoa's 2026 Awards! 🏆We’re incredibly proud to share that Ziptrek Ecotours has been named a finalist for the Service IQ Tourism Excellence Award! This award was judged on:- Leadership - Operational excellence - Impact and outcomes - Dedication to sustainability commitment Since opening our treehouse doors in Queenstown in 2009, we’ve always believed adventure and looking after the place we call home should go hand in hand. From gravity-fed ziplines through the forest to sharing conservation stories with our guests, sustainability is at the heart of what we do! We’re proud to be recognised as a net-zero carbon business, and even prouder that our sustainability journey has been shared through Tourism Industry Aotearoa’s Akiaki programme to help other tourism businesses learn from our experience. But this recognition is also about our staff…Our guides, treehouse team, guest services, and everyone behind the scenes work incredibly hard to create an experience that leaves a lasting impression on our guests and, hopefully, the environment too. A huge thank you to our team, our guests, our industry partners and everyone who has supported Ziptrek along the way!We’re so excited to be heading to the 2026 New Zealand Tourism Awards as finalists alongside some incredible tourism businesses from across Aotearoa.Fingers crossed! 🤞🌿 For now, enjoy some pictures of our fabulous team that make this possible! #ZiptrekEcotours #NZTourismAwards #TourismExcellence #Queenstown #Ecotourism #SustainableTourism #AdventureTourism #QueenstownNZ

Another way we celebrate te reo Māori at Ziptrek is through our safety boards 💚When you join us for a tour, you’ll notice our safety information is displayed in both English and te reo Māori, helping to keep our guests safe while celebrating the beautiful language of Aotearoa 🇳🇿Te reo Māori is part of who we are, and we’re proud to weave it into the Ziptrek experience. #TeWikiOteReoMāori #ReoMāori #TeReoMāori #ZiptrekNZ #Aotearoa

Golden hour! 🌇 Soaking in the views from our ziplines this winter! 🏔️

Meet Danique and Harry! Two of our amazing guides here at Ziptrek.Danique and Harry have been with us since April, and are absolutely smashing it! This guest photo was taken between ziplines five and six - right in the native flora we reforested! 🌲🍃Soak in the view of the snowy Remarkables in the background too.📽️ @alexander_spade

Fly through the treetops like the forest forgot you were ever supposed to walk. 🌲Every zipline strings you between ancient canopy and open sky, New Zealand's wild green stretching out below like it's showing off. The rush hits fast, the views linger longer, and somewhere mid-flight you stop thinking and just feel it. 🪂✨Ranked among New Zealand's top experiences for a reason.#Ziptrek #NewZealandTravel #ZiplineAdventure #TreetopAdventure #NZAdventure #ExploreNewZealand #AdventureTravel #TravelBucketList #ForestCanopy #OutdoorAdventure #TravelNZ #NatureLovers #TixLayer

Our day to day operations just got a little more sustainable. 💚⚡We're excited to introduce our new electric operations vehicle - Hiko! Hiko; the te reo Māori word for electric! She is helping us reduce our reliance on fossil fuels while acting as our course safety vehicle. Charged overnight in town, she heads up the mountain each day to power our course, helping keep essential equipment like our safety gates, cameras, and other devices running. She also means we've been able to retire one of our older diesel vehicles from daily operations and reduce the need for generators during periods of low solar energy.On the back of the truck you'll find the whakataukī:"He hiringa hangarau, he oranga tangata."Through technological innovation, the people will prosper.Hiko moves us closer to our ultimate goal of full electrification, with vehicles being the last big piece in the puzzle. 🌿

Happy Matariki from the Ziptrek team. ✨Matariki is a symbol of the Māori New Year. This is a time to reflect, reconnect, and spend time with the people who matter most.Take a moment to look up and enjoy the stars above!✨Winter evenings in Queenstown are pretty special. As daylight fades and the stars begin to appear, our Twilight Tours offer a unique way to experience the forest after dark, and zip beneath a sky full of stars... 🌌We are looking forward to you zipping with us this Matariki holiday!

Legs tired from skiing over the holidays? Your Superpass isn't just for the slopes - you can now redeem it on a Ziptrek adventure!🎄See you this winter... 👀 ⛰️

Queenstown really putting on a show for us today ❄️ 🏔️ - some amazing views from the course! A subtle reminder of The Remarkables being really, truly remarkable?
