The zipline adventure that put Rotorua Canopy Tours on the map, named the Worlds #1 Nature Experience.
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, youll 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 t and korimak 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.
This isn't just adrenaline, its a journey through one of Aotearoas last ancient forests, alive with birdsong and restored through award-winning conservation.

Who can go on the tour?
We have a maximum weight of 120kg and a minimum weight of 35kg. However we can accommodate children lighter than 35kg's but we do need advance warning so please give us a call if this relates to you. There is a minimum age of 6 years old.
How physically fit do I need to be?
You need to be able to walk 3 flights of stairs and walk for 1 hour comfortably unassisted.
I'm afraid of heights - will I be able to complete the tour?
This is a decision you will need to make, the highest platform is 22 metres above the ground and the highest flight is 35 metres above the valley floor so you will face your fear, head on. The heights gradually increase and you are always attached to a safety line.
How many people on the tour?
There is a maximum of 10 customers per tour. For group sizes of more than 10 people please contact us - we have a number of ways of catering to large groups and would love the opportunity to discuss the options with you.
Can people come and watch me?
No - we operate in a wilderness area and the access routes between platforms are unmarked. There is a high risk that spectators will get disorientated and lost in the forest. In addition to this, there are no vantage points so spectators are unlikely to be able to see you. We do not take any responsibility for people who are not on our tour.
Does the tour go in all weather?
Yes we operate in all weather conditions, with very few exceptions (high wind or electrical storms). In fact, the forest is at its most beautiful in the rain. We supply high quality wet weather gear and warmer outer layers if the conditions require so that you remain dry and warm, whatever the weather.
What do i wear?
Ideally bring one more layer than you think you might need and closed toe footwear is a must. We have jackets available if needed.
Can i bring my camera?
Yes bring your camera and take as many pictures as you can but you will need a strap on it to ensure it can be secured to your harness as you will not be allowed to hold it during flight. We do not take any responsibility for camera damage.
