What To Expect
This is so much more than epic ziplines! You'll fly on six ziplines of different lengths - the longest is a 400m tandem zipline, where you can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h. Around you is a unique forest with 1,000-year-old trees, lush ferns, and plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.
Soak up big New Zealand scenery from massive suspended swing bridges, up a spiral staircase, across a one-of-a-kind floating staircase, and along a volcanic walkway 50 m above the valley - there’s nothing else like it.
Stay in the treetops on platforms set around giant trunks, spotting rare native birds. The forest is exclusive to Canopy Tours, so your small group is fully immersed and looked after by our legendary superhero guides. They’ll keep you safe, keep it fun, and capture your free photos to email after the tour.
Rotorua’s most thrilling and awarded zipline experience - longer, higher, and deeper into the wild. This is the Ultimate and a step uo from our legendary Original Canopy Tour!
