Groups, Conferences and Incentives

School Groups

Up on the iconic Skyline gondola hill, Ziptrek Ecotours is a truly unique location for your next school group outing. Along with offering the best views of Queenstown, our tours are loaded with amazing commentary on sustainability and eco-tourism. On tour we talk about The Natural Step Framework, a system that sets out the conditions for the sustainability of human activities on this planet.

With a minimum age of 6 years, we can cater for almost any school group. Bringing your group on a ski trip and looking for something else to do on a day off? Ziptrek operates every day of the year and is amazing in snow!

If you are interested in having your school group gain a deeper understanding of sustainability, we are able to arrange a discussion directly with your group to talk about eco-tourism and the sustainable business model of our business. This is not a standard offering and will incur a charge based on numbers.

Corporate and Incentives

Bringing a conference to Queenstown?  Looking for something to ‘WOW’ that incentive group?  Maybe you're after something different for next staff outing? Then Ziptrek Ecotours is the perfect choice for your event.  We can cater for groups from 10-260 persons in one day and as an optional activity, offer a truly unique experience for your clients.

We offer our standard tours throughout the day and based on numbers, stagger departures one after the other 15-20 minutes apart split into smaller personalised groups of 10.  We market ourselves as ‘soft adventure’ and as such, become a fantastic choice for group as we are suitable for all ages, all abilities and all personalities!  So whether you are looking at something for everyone (Moa 4 line tour),something a little more adventurous (Kea 6 line tour), or are short on time (Kereru 2 line & drop) we can accommodate you!

Our dedicated group events team are here to assist with every detail, making your booking as seamless as possible. Gently cruising on line 4 taking in the most breathtaking views of Queenstown or going 70kph upside down on the world’s steepest tree to tree zipline?  The choice of adventure is yours!

Team Building

Our team building activities offer a personalised tour hosted by our Ziptrek guides. We incorporate a range of mental and physical challenges on stunning treehouse platforms and throughout the surrounding Douglas Fir forest, in between zipping through the first four ziplines of our course. These challenges can be tailored to suit your groups requirements, expectations and needs. Company branding on the treehouses and platforms is available.

As with the rest of our products, team building with Ziptrek is an all weather outdoor activity. A unique advantage of our team building option is that all participants can start and finish at the same time. Duration of team building varies based on numbers booked. We require a minimum of 10 persons and offer team building to a maximum of 60 persons at one time. We breakdown the group into smaller groups of 10 persons and each group then has two Ziptrek guides who will personally look after them, direct and assist with the activities.

Bespoke Groups

If you are looking at delivering a truly unique experience for your group, please contact us directly to discuss a range of alternative options from our normal group offerings. We are able to offer exclusive use of our zipline course for a ‘Continuous Zip’ option. This would see you book the entire course for your exclusive use and would see your clients zipline through the entire course, one at a time, by our guide (your clients would not touch the zipline).  Ziptrek would station our guides at every treehouse platform to launch and receive your clients and they would just go straight from one zipline to the other (no story-telling between ziplines). This option allows us to get participants through quickly if you are working to a tight schedule and also ties nicely in with any function or event you may already be partaking in at the Skyline gondola facility - we are able to host guests personally and bring them down to Ziptrek in small groups, returning them to their function after they have zipped.
