Wheeeee!

Great to bond with the group on the short ride out. Made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Although I am scared of heights, I felt safe and supported the entire time. Would zipline again!

Great fun flying through the forrest canopy. Something for everyone.

Had agreat trip with Alec and the rest of the team. Right from the start they made us welcome and explained everything in detail. I was thinking it might be a miserable experience in heavy rain but they provided great waterproof gear and the rain makes it magical in the forests so dont let rain put you off. The facitliies are great and the walk through the bush would be accessible to all ages and abilites. Nice to see the conservation work that's been happening and to see the bridlife up close. Great family outing if you havent done the ziplines I'd recommend it and will be back again.

Exhilarating and Informative

We had an amazing experience with Rotorua Canopy Tours, from the original query about booking a group, costs, expectations and the actual tour itself. The customer service is second to none, given by knowledgeable, friendly, charming staff. Not only was it physically enormous fun, we learnt alot about the forest and its inhabitants. The tour guides were supportive, informative, accommodating and fun which made the experience terrific. Thankyou to everyone

I couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first family hipline experiences. We felt safe, had a great time, and learned about the important work the organization was doing. I can not wait to come back and do the other zipline tour!
