Canopy Tour - Zipline [ROT27]
Day Tour, Rotorua Canopy Tour - Half Day

Embark on a magical journey through untouched native New Zealand forest from a unique perspective high in the forest canopy.

High amongst ancient trees, this 3-hour adventure combines fun and excitement with pristine natural beauty.

Mix thrill and wonder through an incredible network of trails, tree platforms, ziplines (flying foxes) and swing bridges. The changing views are breathtaking as you experience the thrill of flying through changing landscapes from high above unexplored forested valleys to tight openings through the forest sub canopy amongst stands of giant long forgotten trees.

In between the thrill of the ziplines (flying fox), suspended treebridges and tree platforms, your guides share their passion and knowledge for the local history, the forest and the conservation challenges they face in preserving this special ecosystem.

Hear the beautiful orchestra of native bird song resonating in the forest and take a deep breath to let the wondrous moment sink in.
