5. Breathtaking Original Canopy Tour: family of four

Rotorua Canopy Tours

The Original Canopy Tour takes you deep into a forest frozen in time, one of the last pockets of pre-human wilderness in Aotearoa. Over three incredible hours, you’ll fly on six ziplines, including a 220-metre canopy ride, cross two swing bridges, and explore treetop platforms up to 18 metres high. Launch from a 1,000-year-old rimu tree, hear the tūī and korimakō calling through the trees, and see for yourself what a predator-free New Zealand could look like. 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.

Value $599
