Lunch food was good. Service was terrible and food came out late for different people.
Thanks so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the zipline and forest walk and had a great time with our guides. We’re sorry to hear that the lunch service didn’t meet expectations. While the zipline and forest walk are operated by EcoZip, the Wine & Dine experience is delivered by our partners at Fullers 360. That said, we absolutely take your comments seriously and will be sharing this feedback with their team to help improve timing and service consistency. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and wish you all the best for your next adventure.
This was really two separate tours. The Eco zip lining was the best experience. The wine tour was ok. First, the zip lining was great. The guides (Poppy and Debacker) made us feel very comfortable and safe. They knew a lot about the area and made the experience wonderful. It was nice having a short walk between the zip lining. Second, the wine and olive oil tour was ok. I felt like it was so much driving. I didn’t realize we were also getting a tour of the island. The lunch was good but the winery was ok. The other wineries were ok. Nothing outstanding. If I were to do it again, I would definitely book the zip lining tour on its own. But would find a different winery part.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we really appreciate it. We’re so pleased to hear that you loved the ziplining experience and that Poppy and DaBaker helped you feel safe, comfortable, and informed throughout. We’re sorry to hear that the wine and olive oil portion didn’t quite meet your expectations. This part of the experience is operated by another companies who we work with to offer a convenient combo option for guests looking to experience more of Waiheke Island in a single day. That said, we understand that the style and pace of a guided wine tour—including travel time between venues—may not suit everyone. Your feedback is really valuable, and we’ll be sure to pass it along to our partner team. Thanks again for your honest review, and we hope to welcome you back for another ziplining adventure in the future.
Awesome zip line in experience Fraser and Macy were terrific. We should have lasted longer than I could’ve zip line all day. From there we went olive oil tasting at all press, which was excellent and then had lunch at batch Winery and did two other tastings at cable Bay and mud brick our afternoon guide was Nicola and loved that she shared so many personal stories. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your awesome review of the Zip Wine and Dine expereince. We’re so glad you had such a great time on the ziplines with Fraser and Macey — we’ll be sure to pass that on to them. It sounds like you really enjoyed the following wine and dine portion of the day too which is exactly what we like to hear. What a great well rounded full day experience. We’ll also let Nicola know how much you appreciated her stories. Thanks so much for the recommendation and all the best for your next adventure.
The ziplining was absolutely fabulous from the nervous 1st step to the very long walk back to base we were looked after very well by Lucy and Elizabeth. With their calm instruction and fun manner we were put at ease throughout the trip and I loved every minute of it.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We love hearing about that nervous first step turning into an experience you loved every minute of — that’s what it’s all about. Lucy and Elizabeth will be delighted to know their calm guidance and fun approach helped put you at ease from start to finish. Thanks again for joining us for your special day.
Eco zipline was fabulous . Great job by Poppy & Ella . Professional and fun . Safety was clearly a priority . Batch winery lunch was very good but took too long for lunch . Cable bay winery was so rushed we didn't see the winery nor did we have time to consider buying wine . Similarly loved Mudbrick winery but we were so rushed that we never got to see the winery and peruse the other wines . Could have done without the 40 min bus tour as we signed up up for wineries tour not a bus tour of the area. Also when are zipline tour was completed we were escorted to a huge bus tour group without any directions . Would have appreciated some communication.
I had an amazing experience. The views are unbelievable and I especially loved learning about the history and culture. I would highly recommend this to experience. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you enjoyed the expereince. It means a lot that you’d recommend EcoZip. We wish you all the best for your next adventure.
This experience was incredible. Exhilarating and adrenaline filled afternoon. Beautiful scenery. Vineyards and native forest. Zip lining is 3 lines and a forest hike back to the office. Make sure this is on your to do list when visiting Waiheke Island.

I had the most incredible ziplining experience in New Zealand! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the staff was not only professional but also friendly and knowledgeable, making sure we felt safe and excited throughout the adventure. The views were absolutely breathtaking—soaring over lush forests, valleys, and rivers made the experience unforgettable. The adrenaline rush of speeding through the treetops combined with the serenity of nature was the perfect balance.
