New York Yankees star zips into Queenstown

New York Yankees star zips into Queenstown

On a home-run into Queenstown, New York Yankees centre-fielder Curtis Granderson zipped through the tree-tops above the resort yesterday (Friday 28 January).

The baseball hero harnessed up for Ziptrek Ecotours new Kea 6-line Tour which includes the world’s steepest tree-to-tree flying fox adventure.

Ziptrek Ecotours General Manager Trent Yeo said: “We were truly excited to welcome Curtis, as a sports hero with his own non-profit organization; “Grand Kids Foundation” to take part in our flying fox activity that embraces the combined message of social and environmental sustainability through play. “

Curtis is in New Zealand courtesy of Baseball NZ. He is visiting Queenstown as a guest of Tourism New Zealand.
