Guided in small groups, this is adventure, conservation, and nature at its best.
Rotorua Canopy Tours’ ziplines are woven through one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s last untouched ancient forests, now alive with birdsong, thanks to years of hands-on restoration. It’s wild, beautiful and fiercely protected. And multi-award-winning.
