What To Expect

At your selected departure time you’re picked up from your hotel and transferred to the starting point for your zipline tour in the Rotorua forest, a protected ecosystem that your ticket price helps to preserve.

On arrival, it’s a gentle walk to the first platform, perched 72 feet above the forest floor. Before you launch into the canopy, expert guides provide safety gear and a briefing on what you can expect during your treetops adventure.

Before you shoot off into the tree canopy, learn about the region’s history and birdlife, and hear about steps the local tour operator is taking to care for the 500-year-old forest. Then enjoy aerial views as you zoom along six ziplines — the longest of which is 722 feet (220 meters) long — stopping at two suspended bridges in between.

Back on firm ground, finish your Rotorua zipline adventure with drop-off at your hotel.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our guides, Jess and Mikaela, were highly entertaining and a wealth of knowledge as well as extremely competent with the ziplines, putting us all at ease. Their passion for conservation was contagious and the educational part of the experience was as enjoyable as 'flying' through the canopy! Would recommend this to EVERYONE and will do it again in a heartbeat.

The tour was incredibly well organised with friendly and informative guides. Always felt in good hands. The guides are also very informative about the flora and fauna surrounding you in the forest. I could not recommend more highly as an absolute must in Rototua!

One of the best ziplining experiences. Amazing forest and well arranged tour. Even kids will be able to do it.
Had a blast!
Gwenolyn_A, Sept 2023
Paul and Amy are AMAZING!!! Best ziplline experience ever!!! They talk about and help you experience the Virgin forest as well encourage and challenge you to try new things on each part of the zipline course. They had us laughing before we even got to the zipline and the fun and facts just kept coming. I can't say enough. Just go and enjoy it for yourself.
Great fun 🤩
Neil_S, Sept 2023
A great way to spend 3hrs in Rotorua. I plan to go back and enjoy the Ultimate tour (longer with more zip lines) also it’s a great way to raise funds to help protect the forests. As a potion of funds go towards pest eradication and up keep
Awesome fun!

Stephanie_T, Aug 2023
We really enjoyed the Original Canopy Tour! Our guides were super and very patient with my 8-year old. I also loved the conservation work this company is doing. Fun way to spend an afternoon!!
Have fun, get silly 😜
Kayli_F, Jul 2023
Super awesome guides! Scott, Nina and Sam did a fantastic job explaining and making sure everyone was safe. They also talked to us about some conservation tips and steps that are being done for reintroducing and cultivating wildlife. Overall 10/10. Don't be afraid to be silly, everyone looks funny in safety gear but it's more fun that way!
Holiday trip

Very good experience, well worth going and trying. The guides are very nice. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt a trapeze. It’s so exciting👍
Down to earth and yet transcendent
Richard_L, May 2023
I enjoyed our guides, Phoebe and Andrew - their professionalism combined with humour, anecdote, environmental education, zaniness, and reassurance. The environmental consciousness of the company is inspirational. The experience of walking through ancient forest and ziplining across the canopy is almost spiritual. Highly recommended.
Forest Adventure With Great Guides
John_D, Apr 2023
This was my first zip line experience and it was just wonderful. Guides Vincent and Megan dispelled any possible fears. Clearly, safety is a huge priority with this company. The repartee between the guides and with our group was infectious. Pure fun. An unexpected benefit was that we learned a great deal about the Forest, it’s natural challenges and the valiant efforts to preserve it. Everyone in our group of ten left smiling and grateful for the experience. Kudos!
Most exciting adventure

Crew was fantastic! Scenery was unforgettable. A professional operation. All of this led to an extremely memorable day.
Awesome time
Saskia_S, Apr 2023
This was a wonderful end to my New Zealand trip. The guides were funny and knowledgeable about the animals and the forest. The whole tour was just a lot of fun, you felt safe and were therefore able to enjoy the experience to the fullest. Time literally flew by. I also really appreciated that part of the money for the ticket goes into protecting this wonderful forest.
Best. Morning. Ever.

Worth every penny!
Terry_L, Apr 2023
The forest and the birds were beautiful. There were at least 6 zip lines, 2 suspended bridges, and a short amount of hiking. The guides Mykala and J.C. were great. Attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, safety conscious, and fun! Well worth the money and time !
Zip-lining ecotourism
Lisa_K, Mar 2023
I love this company. They made first time zip liners at ease and I love that part of our ticket money goes to environmental stewardship of the forest. Ecotourism at its finest!
Expensive
Helen_K, Mar 2023
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. However we probably won't go through Viator again as the cost converting NZ currency to USA was to expensive.
