With the huge success of their Original Canopy Tour, Rotorua Canopy Tours decided to go bigger, faster and longer and created the Ultimate Canopy Tour – designed to be the best zipline experience in the world! This 3.5 hour adventure sees you fly on 1200m of ziplines as you journey in small groups with two authentic Kiwi guides. Your guides are highly trained to keep you safe, make you smile and teach you amazing things. A step up in adventure level, this experience includes ziplining, a controlled descent, spiral staircase, a 50m high cliff walk and epic views of New Zealand’s incredible native forest. You’ll also become a part of their conservation story, learning about how they have brought this forest back to life and a portion of every ticket is invested in conservation.

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.

Best adventure activity in Rotorua

Published on Feb, 2025

Best activity in Rotorua! Fun, safe, exhilarating and contributes to saving the forest - what more could you ask for. Knowledgeable guides who make the experience memorable. Can’t recommend it enough

Highlight of our trip

Published on Feb, 2025

We joined the Original Canopy Tour with Bree and Lauren. The girls were so warm and encouraging, especially to those who, like me, had a fear of heights. The safety aspect is excellent and we felt secure at all times. The forest itself is stunningly beautiful and our guides were knowledgeable in explaining different aspects of the flora, fauna and conservation activities. We would highly recommend this tour; a highlight of our New Zealand trip

Best all around zip line

Published on Feb, 2025

It was great. Terrific views. Great zips. Ben and Shane (out guides) were very safety conscious and also made it great fun. Their interaction was terrific. An all around great experience, highly recommended.

Review of Ultimate Zipline Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

The tour was fantastic! Great balance of learning about conservation and the forest, and going through the trees on the ziplines and bridges. Elyse and Matthew were fantastic guided who were both very knowledgeable of the forest and Dip made the experience great. Highly recommend!

the best experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

One of my favourite experiences in 2024! Shout out to Jake who was a 10/10 guide - so knowledgeable and a good laugh. Would recommend to everyone!
