With the huge success of their Original Canopy Tour, Rotorua Canopy Tours decided to go bigger, faster and longer and created the Ultimate Canopy Tour – designed to be the best zipline experience in the world!
This 3.5 hour adventure sees you fly on 1200m of ziplines as you journey in small groups with two authentic Kiwi guides. Your guides are highly trained to keep you safe, make you smile and teach you amazing things.
A step up in adventure level, this experience includes ziplining, a controlled descent, spiral staircase, a 50m high cliff walk and epic views of New Zealand’s incredible native forest. You’ll also become a part of their conservation story, learning about how they have brought this forest back to life and a portion of every ticket is invested in conservation.
