About
Ziptrek Treehouse at the top of the Queenstown Gondola offers a thrilling canopy adventure that's genuinely unique in the region. This isn't just another zipline experience—it's a purpose-built treehouse course that combines adrenaline with immersion in native forest, suspended high above the Remarkables. With over 4.7 stars from nearly 300 reviews, it's earned its reputation as one of Queenstown's standout attractions for visitors seeking something beyond the usual bungy and jet boat scene.
Expect a 2.5 to 3-hour experience that feels more immersive than a standard zipline tour. You'll navigate multiple platforms, suspension bridges, and ziplines while your guide shares stories about the forest ecology and Queenstown's landscape below. It suits families (kids from 10+), couples after adventure, and solo travellers equally well. The pace is steady rather than relentless, giving you time to absorb the forest atmosphere and take photos. Most visitors say it's worth every dollar—the novelty of being in the canopy, the professionalism of staff, and the views combine well. Wear closed shoes and expect a mild physical challenge; it's not extreme, but you'll climb stairs and balance on planks.
Ziptrek sits perfectly in the Queenstown adventure calendar. Combine it with a Gondola ride up and down, grab lunch at the station café, then explore nearby Arrowtown or hit the Remarkables hiking trails. It works year-round, though summer (December–February) offers the longest daylight and most stable weather. Winter tours run, but book ahead as availability tightens. If you're splitting your Queenstown time between extreme sports and unique nature experiences, Ziptrek Treehouse bridges both worlds convincingly.
