The Moa zipline adventure tour will serve as the perfect starter to your adventure experiences in New Zealand's Queenstown region! The Moa is comprised of four flying foxes which both start and finish at the top of the Skyline Gondola and is designed to start low and slow and gradually build your confidence as it gets progressively longer, higher and faster. All ages will love the interaction that this guided aerial tour - which lasts approximately two hours - has to offer.
Providing the best framed views of Lake Wakatipu, you'll traverse the forest in a way that will never be forgotten - the perfect tour activity for families, groups and those who have never tried ziplining before!
