Are you ready to soar over waterfalls, zoom through pristine native forests, and be enlightened through a hands-on cultural and ecological experience in Okere Falls, Rotorua? If so, then Rotorua Ziplines has you covered. Suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities, a network of ziplines, swing bridges, and boardwalks will have you in awe for 2.5 hours as you fly, walk and gaze at the stunning taiao (Environment) that is Ōkere.
Born through an intimate connection with the Ōkere Awa (Kaituna River), this joint venture between Ngāti Hinerangi and Rotorua Rafting’s Ōkere Falls born and bred, Sam Sutton, has been created to showcase its mauri (spirit) and importance with Aotearoa’s soon to be premier zipline experience.
Ensuring that our taiao is enhanced through the very operation will have every guest leaving a tree in their name as Rotorua Ziplines reforestation project plant its way towards 60,000 native trees by the end of 2025 to see Ōkere Falls thrive for generations to come.

Wonderful guides (Elise, Jacob, Earl), great location, felt totally safe on the lines (even with no experience); this is probably not suited for the adrenaline seeking type. This is more for nature lovers as you will also walk through a new forest and get some information on plants and birds.
There are just four lines and the very best two unfortunately are the first ones. So be aware of that! Your guides take pictures and you get them for free. You can also take your own mobile phone as you will be given a a little harness to hang it around your neck.

Highly recommend! Not only was it amazing zip lining over rivers and falls, the guides were awesome with information on culture, flora and fauna. Also included traditional Kawakawa tea and some tree planting for regeneration. It was a wonderful experience and something I would do again.

Had the most fantastic experience at the Zipline. Earl and Josh were just amazing. So helpful and informative. Not only did they make us safe and comfortable but we learned a lot and the Kawakawa tea break was a wonderful unexpected touch. The knowledge of the history of the area from Earl and both of their humour and remembering all of our names just made the trip such a memorable experience. The ziplines were exciting. Left with a big smile and will be back again!

A group of international students had the experience to phone home about. Super fun with different lengths of ziplines with each going faster, including a wooden swing bridge made for a great day out. Guides were all amazing, wish I could name them all but our group had Johnny and Joshua. Great guys, full of stories and kept us all entertained. Highly recommend!

We went zip lining with Seb and Johnny who were great guides. The zip-lines, swinging bridge and walks in between were really scenic, including over waterfalls and rivers. It was relaxed and you could take different approaches on the zip-lines. Weather was great and we had a fun small group. Lots of opportunities to take pictures and videos.

Coolest experience ever, went for an excursion & was a bit nervous as heights scare me but our guides (Nui & Seb) were the absolute coolest guides! I’d say to ask for them if you’re going on a tour 😉 But they make sure you’re safe & have a lot of information about the land you’re visiting. Definitely recommend listening if the guides tell you to try something out, may seem scary but you’ll have fun!

Amazing fun. The guides looked after us all real well, even me, over 70 with replacement knees and hips! I loved it and beat my husband in the Dual run.
Great value for money, one of the best To Dos in NZ. Thanks Archie for the photos too

Fantastic experience, would highly recommend.
The scenery was stunning and I loved learning about the local history, the Māori traditions, the birds, and flora and fauna. The kawakawa ceremony (tea from bush leaves) was really special too.
It was adrenalin packed if you wanted, but also chill if that's not your thing.
We took our 17 and 15 year old teenagers and they loved it too.
And I love that you are regenerating native bush, what a fantastic initiative, giving back more than you take away. Building back our native forest for future generations.
Aroha nui.
