Rotorua Canopy Tours - Zipline into an Ancient Forest
Zipline into Ōkoheriki, a rare ancient forest of 1,000-year-old giants. Reach speeds up to 80 km/h between platforms up to 20 metres (seven storeys) high, cross swing bridges, and spot native birds (you might hand-feed a cheeky toutouwai). Small groups, free photos, and our legendary “superhero” guides keep it safe, personal, and fun. Every booking helps restore one of Aotearoa’s last ancient forests. Multi-award-winning and uniquely Kiwi.
Original Canopy Tour - the classic, feel-alive adventure
A 1.2 km guided zipline that builds confidence and connection. Fly six ziplines (longest 220 m), step onto hidden treetop platforms up to six storeys, and launch from a 1,000-year-old rimu. Your guides share conservation in action as the birdsong returns. Ideal for first-timers, families (6+), and nature lovers who want close-up moments and easygoing thrills.
Ultimate Canopy Tour - bigger, faster, more features
A 2.5 km step-up for thrill-seekers (10years+). Fly six longer, steeper, faster lines including a 400 m side-by-side race, take a spiral staircase around an ancient tawa, walk along New Zealand’s only volcanic cliff walkway 50 metres above the valley, and cross four massive suspension bridges. The same epic guide care and free photos, with more speed, scale, and “only-here” moments.
Original - close-up and confidence-building. Ultimate - turned up with signature features you won’t find anywhere else. Both support forest restoration and deliver an award-winning guided small-group, unique experience.
