Experience New Zealand’s one and only cliff walk, built around a volcanic rock 50-metres above the valley floor. Soar down a 400m tandem Zip-line and race your loved ones. Climb up through the layers of the canopy on our staircases that are truly an amazing engineering feat. This adventure is the ultimate way to explore the ancient giants and lifeforms in this forest that you can’t see anywhere else in the world!

Since we opened in 2012 we have been protecting this special place and when you come along, you will be too! A portion of your entry goes straight back to our conservation project to help us continue to rescue and look after this magic place.

We take photos for you and they are FREE after your tour via an email link. You are welcome to take as many videos and photos as you like too – you’ll be wanting to share this experience with everyone!

Specific hazards and risks include but are not limited to vehicle accidents, falls from height, zipline collisions, entanglement in equipment, slips and falls, falling debris, staff errors, suspension trauma, exposure to typical NZ conservation practices such as trapping and adverse weather effects due to varying environmental conditions that can change quickly and without much warning.

The zipline course was great! The guides were a lot of fun and clearly experienced at keeping us safe. I loved that they educated us about the forest - the plants and history, as well as conservation efforts. The long runs of the Ultimate course were fun, even for a first timer.

We had a great time with this experience. The zip lines were fun. the guides were amazing, and we got to experience part of New Zealand that has been slowly disappearing. This company is also doing what they can to save the forested areas the use. Will go back anytime I visit New Zealand and Rotorua in general.

Fantastic experience from start to finish, highly recommended! The guides made us feel very safe and comfortable and eased us into it with a slow release for the first couple of zip lines. The scenery is spectacular and we loved the little educational snippets along the way. Loved the race and the fun descent at the end!

Outstanding!! I was in awe being in this untouched ngahere/bush surrounded by big old trees.That in itself was memorable.The ziplines,suspension bridges,swingbridge and canopy platforms made this a very unique experiance.Walking around a 250000 rock+ being up high in a 1200yr old Rimu tree was beyond expectations.Our guides Ash+George were fantastic+ kept us safe + informed with a wealth of knowledge on the forest/birds,and educated our group about the massive conservation efforts Rotorua Canopy tours have done,and continue to do.All of these components together truely make this an OUTSTANDING NATURE EXPERIANCE.

This was such an excellent experience! It was really special to be in virgin native forest and hear about all the conservation efforts canopy tours make. The zip lining was super fun and the tour guides really made the experience. Best tour guides I've ever had - thanks Andrew and Jake!

10/10. I felt very safe and most of the time forgot that I was quite high up. The ziplines are very fun. The guides were awesome. There are a few special bird guests along the way which were a major highlight. The experience is in a virgin native forest which is incredible. I was really happy to hear that some of money goes towards their conservation efforts.
