Rotorua Ziplines takes you on an unforgettable two-hour adventure through a spectacular network of ziplines, swing bridges, and elevated boardwalks. Designed for a wide range of ages and abilities, the experience combines thrilling flights with breathtaking views of the Ōkere taiao — the surrounding natural environment.

Together, they have created an experience that shares the mauri, stories, and significance of this extraordinary place.
Your adventure also helps restore the forest for future generations. At the end of your tour, a native tree will be planted in your name as part of Rotorua Ziplines’ mission to plant 100,000 native trees by the end of 2030.
