Fun Above the Trees

We had a wonderful time this past Friday, 10th July, on the Original Zipline Tour! A few years ago, we visited Rotorua Canopy Tours to do the Ultimate Zipline tour and had the best time, so this time we decided to go back to basics and try out the original adventure. My partner and I had so much fun flying through the beautiful native trees while learning about the conservation efforts in the forest. Our guides, Jesse and Unique, were not only knowledgeable but kept the energy up on our trip. Thank you for a fantastic visit :) Would love to come back sometime.

My parter and I did the original zipline tour on Friday the 10th of July. It was a amazing experience and our guides were amazing. The ziplines were exciting and the native forest around us was breath-taking. 11 out of 10 would recomend.

SO FUN

SO fun. Dylan and Phil were both very funny and made the experience even more enjoyable. Beautiful scenery and I learned about New Zealand’s native wildlife. I even got to feed a bird!
