Reviews of Rotorua Canopy Tours | Zipline Experience
G.
Amazing experience, can't recommend this highly enough, we did the Ultimate Tour. Many thanks to our great guides Harry and Nicki for giving us such a great afternoon. Everything was perfect and lots of laughs were had along the way. We'll definitely be back.
j.
What an awesome thing to do while in Rotorua. Highly recommend the Ultimate Tour. Thanks to Jess and Matt who were the best guides...funny, informative, passionate and super friendly. Thanks also to the lady at the front counter (I'm sorry I can't remember her name) who did the meet and greet with genuine enthusiasm. The whole experience was value for money and worthy of the fantastic reviews. Well done team and thanks for the best day.
K.
A great morning out over the canopy of native, virgin forest. Ziplines were fun, safe in the hands of guides Charlie and Stacy. Interesting hearing about the conservation work Canopy Tours are doing in the forest and how money from our tour goes towards this.
S.
We had such an amazing time doing this, the staff are super friendly and down to earth and make everyone be a social bunch all together. Charlie and matt had lots of knowledge on the native forests and wildlife. 100% recommend
N.
My husband and I really enjoyed our tour! Fantastic enthusiasm from our guides Harry and Ash. I felt safe even when out of my comfort zone. A beautiful setting to be in and great to see a company making a positive impact on their environment 😊 this was the ultimate course and I’m not super fit and managed fine 😅
T.
Amazing experience! High recommend! My family love it. Great guides Stacey and Liv, thank you so much. We definitely will try Ultimate tour two years later (after my girl turn 10y old)
T.
All the staff and guides are so friendly. This was an awesome experience in every way and I highly recommend it. I will be back to do the Ultimate Tour.
k.
Second visit to Canopy for the ultimate tour.
Our guides Ash & Paul are knowledgeable & passionate.
And very reassuring for me when I got a little shaky.
Thank you for your great work
W.
We had so much fun. Definitely recommend the ultimate tour. It was an awesome way to see the NZ bush as well as the results of all their conservation efforts. My partner was a little nervous at the start but our guides were super friendly and made her feel comfortable. I would happily do this again.
M.
Absolutely loved this. I am scared of heights and never having been able to cross a suspension bridge before I was surprised how easy it all was. The staff are brilliant at explaining what is going on and what to do to keep us safe.
Part of the cost of the tour goes into conservation work in the forest and they shared what they were doing with us.
I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. It was a great experience.
J.
Probably the best experience you can get for zipline. I did the ultimate zipline, so much fun! Highly recommended. And super educational!
T.
Amazing experience! High recommend! My family love it. Great guides Stacey and Liv, thank you so much. We definitely will try Ultimate tour two years later (after my girl turn 10y old)
Z.
My family and I really enjoyed our tour with Dana and Natalie. We learnt a lot about the forest, it’s native species and pest control, the last of which inspired my final zip down the tour when I forgot to put my legs up. Really fun time after being locked at home for 4 months. 10/10.
O.
Fantastic experience, definitely recommend doing the ultimate tour because it's the best bang for its buck. the customer service is fantastic, the guides are enthusiastic and clearly love what they do a lot. Jesse and Paul are awesome guides, they have a very down to earth attitude and as mentioned before they clearly love what the do which rubs off on everyone around them.
In summary, the guides are really great, great customer service, the experience by its self is incredible. 10/10 definitely recommend and will most certainly go agian when I can.
S.
I have been to the Original Tour twice...and both the times I enjoyed the same...next time I will try the Ultimate Tour..friendly staff, cracked jokes to calm the nerves of some who were scared...
K.
Huge thanks for taking my daugher and I up into the trees.
It was not only exhilarating but highly educational too.
I really love the environmental work that you guys do, and I appreciated the insight into how the work is improving the local ecology.
For us both, the 2 hour tour was over far too quickly and we'll definitely be back to do the bigger tour.
A.
Best experience ever, highly recommended! The guides Luke and Matt were amazing. Zip lining was so much fun and learning about the forest.
S.
Excellent experience!!!!!
I was totally freaked out at the beginning but the 2 guides were amazing, Luke and Tanaya, they supported me the whole way through the journey, they made me feel absolutely safe. Thank to them I had a lot of fun doing the ziplines, I can't wait to sign for the extreme canopy. The whole experience was a 10 of a 10.
I recommend this experience 100% !!!!!!
S.
We had such a fun afternoon doing the Ultimate Canopy Tour with Marty and Paul our guides.
It is definitely worth the price, with some going towards their conservation efforts in New Zealand native bush. It is an informative and adrenaline fueled activity I would recommend to anyone visiting Rotorua!
M.
100% recommend the ultimate zip lining tour. Mum & I had Matt& Lexi as our tour guides (14.2.22) Full of knowledge &encouragement. It was an incredible experience that I shall never forget
A.
Fantastic experience!! Nicky and Charlie were totally awesome guides who were passionate about the native flora, fauna, bugs and birds. If you are after an amazing experience full of laughs all the while supporting sustainability then this is the activity for you.
K.
Awesome experience! We did the Ultimate Tour and it was exceptional. Great fun, amazing hosts and breath taking views. Would recommend highly, well worth ticking off the bucket list!
R.
Who knew sh*tting your pants could be so fun. Great views and so happy I did it. Our tour guides Charley and Nicky were such a great team. So supportive and patient. Glad to be with them.
T.
Great trip. The guides are excellent, both fun and highly knowledgeable. The zip line rides are amazing, flying through the forest seeing the tree tops from a birds perspective is an experience I will remember for a long time. But the most impressive part for me was that the guides where able to calm and assure my very frightened 10 year old daughter, to the point that she was super confident by the end of the trip.
S.
I was lucky to be included on the ultimate tour by Rotorua Canopy Tours over labour weekend. I enjoyed every moment immensely. The ziplines are so much fun and the view is awesome. The forest is beautiful and the birds are really lovely. The conservation efforts being done by this company really impressed me. The guides were hilarious and kept us going with good old kiwi style humor. We felt safe at all times and in good hands. I can highly recommend this tour to everyone, you wont regret it! Thanks to our guides Will and Ash for an awesome time. Suzy

Second visit to Canopy for the ultimate tour.
Our guides Ash & Paul are knowledgeable & passionate.
And very reassuring for me when I got a little shaky.
Thank you for your great work
A.
Highly recommend this amazing experience! I am a bit nervous with heights and the Original tour was the best tour for anyone like minded. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, professional and so much fun. Beautiful forest, felt very safe and confident. Thank you so much Canopy Tours can’t wait to come back
J.
what a fantastic trip!
The guides were helpful, fun and very informative. the work being completed and the history to the company and its origins are a great yarn and so important to the environment and a unique piece of NZ.
The zip lines were fun for all in our party. the youngest (6) needed no encouragement, where others did need a slight push!
Highly recommend this inspiring activity to any and all.
y.
Was a really fun experience! It was interesting to learn the reforestation and conservation work the canopy tours contributed. Clear instructions on our safety and our guides are really entertaining.
K.
I had a blast on the Original Canopy tour with our fantastic guides Martin & Matt, who were very knowledgeable about the surrounding forest and made the entire experience fun and exciting. I felt safe the entire time and had a lot of fun taking the challenges they set us while zip-lining, like falling backward into the zip-line and posing off the edge of swing bridges! I would definitely recommend this tour for people of all ages who want to go out and explore some of NZ’s remaining virgin forest!
M.
Incredible experience for our Christmas work function 2021. From the first point of contact right through to waving goodbye, the service was impeccable, the experience surreal and our team thoroughly enjoyed every moment. A special mention to the guides in my group, Ash and Liv, fantastic effort and the passion for the forest and native wildlife was evident for all to see.
J.
Our ultimate zip experience was so much fun and exhilarating, but was really impressed with the conservation part of the tour and having a better understanding on what is being done to restore our lush forest. Scott and Paul were such fantastic guides and awesome kiwi humour that made for a really relaxed and fun experience. Thank you so much and can't wait to do this again next time! Highly recommended
A.
One word: Sensational!!! Many words: we loved our day out. The zip lining is freakin cool, the conservation efforts are inspiring, the bird life mesmerising. The guides (Harry and Ash) were fantastic, very professional yet heaps of fun, safety conscious and patient and accommodating to everyone’s needs. I love how passionate they are about the bird life and conservation efforts. An absolute highlight and would recommend this to anyone. Thank you so much for an awesome day and we will be back to do the ultimate tour.
B.
This was our second visit- this time the ultimate tour! Another amazing experience with wonderful guides! The Rotorua Canopy Tours team are really exceptional- they ensured we had an excellent experience. I'd like to highlight the customer service team members who responded to my emails when arranging our tour; the welcoming and friendly experience at reception; and especially the knowledgeable, personable and safety conscious guides. We felt we were in good hands (with attention to Covid protocols!!) throughout and their passion for the forest enhanced our enjoyment. We loved it and will no doubt return again. It is a special place and amazing to experience the forest from a different perspective. Both tours are so much more than just a fun trip....you get to be immersed in nature and be part of a valuable conservation effort of our native Taonga.
ka kite koe ka mihi!
U.
At the beginning a bit disappointed because there was a misunderstanding with our reservations. Booked for ultimate experience and got the Original. Got reimbursed though. The hole experience was AWESOME thanks to Nui and Jessie (sorry fory spelling if written wrong!) we had so much fun and learned a lot about the forest and nature 😁. Totally recommend and for sure will be back with my lil one and then again for the ultimate experience! 🎉🎉🎉
N.
Hands down the the most amazing experience we have ever had in New Zealand . We came in to have the original canopy tour for my husband’s birthday. Liv and Ash were our tour guides, they are very passionate about what their doing and were really wonderful. They even arranged cake for my husband’s birthday. I wish I had more than 5 stars. The best place to go to experience the beauty and thrill of New Zealand. Thank you so much Liv and Ash for the most surreal experience, you guys are the best. We will be back soon to experience the ultimate canopy tour. Thanks heaps Scott and Meghan for arranging the cake and for your wonderful customer service. Hats off to the best team, you truly deserve all the awards🏆🥇. Thank you so much again 😇
P.
World class!!!!!
We loved every minute of it. Had an amazing time celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary doing this.
The guides were amazing (Paul and Ellie) because they were fun amd informative but above all very professional.
There's something to be said about soaring through the forest and listening to the awesome bird song
P.
The original canopy tour had breathtaking views, Courtney and T were amazing, full of knowledge and energy! Its totally safe. For someone with fear of heights, I say its totally doable! Keep up the good work guys!
J.
Absolutely epic Ultimate Tour. Well done!! Brilliant time. One of the best NZ adrenaline, educative and fun attractions. Put it on your Bucket List!
E.
Harry and Dana were amazing. I'm scared of heights but was told I needed to do this. They were incredible and I felt safe the entire time. I would definitely recommend it as it's a great way to see the virgin native forest and zip line.
J.
Exciting and fun activity - even for someone who is afraid of heights! I loved the conservation work that they are doing as well. Guides Liv and Em were kind, informative and friendly. Would definitely go again for the longer, more challenging tour.
K.
I came here with RGHS for our tourism assessment, it was super fun even though I was terrified to do it for the first time. On behalf of our group we are so thankful for the great experience and all the guides were amazing! Scott and Stacy were super funny and really nice and laid back people. Thankyou for having us Canopy tours! And Thankyou for doing such a great job at protecting our forests
F.
Want an awesome New Zealand zipline experience? Then Rotorua Canopy Tours is the place to go. Of all the Rotorua activities on offer, this full-on adventure flies (literally) above all of them.
Your skilled and friendly guides (we had Nui and Ash on our trip and they were sensational!) will guide you deep into an ancient rainforest on the shores of beautiful Lake Rotorua where the canopy tours zipline system is located. As you ascend through the forest to the base of the first zipline, your guides will tell you about some of the superb native flora and fauna surrounding you. (Don't be surprised if a few of them come and visit while you are up in their treetop domain.)
From the first high-speed descent you will be exhilarated by the magnificent trees, ferns and foliage as you fly above, through and past them. Any lingering fear of heights you may still have will soon be dispelled by the relaxed and professional attitude of your guides, and by the time you launch yourself out on the final zipline you'll be quite happily flying upside down and whooping with delight.
Your guides will also introduce you to the excellent conservation work that Rotorua Canopy Tours are undertaking in this tiny slice of rainforest paradise, funded entirely by a percentage of each tour price. Awesome effort you guys!
So if you have a chance to experience this New Zealand mustdo adventure, don't hesitate...just step off the edge and fly!
n.
When on the first week of Jan with Nikkie and Live as our instructor. They were the sweetest and was a really fun experience over all. 100% worth it and would recommend it. 👍
N.
Beautiful and fun adventure, highly recommended, knowledgeable guides, will definitely do again
C.
It was an awesome experience. The family enjoyed every bit of it... Amazing and fun tour guides 😊 We will surely be back again here and do the Ultimate tour..
C.
Took the "Original" canopy tour and it was a blast. Megan and Morgan were our guides. They were very nice, very knowledgeable about the area and the forest. Patient with those in the group that were not as fit or were a little scared. Very reassuring. The safety protocols were apparent in everything they did. They never lost focus even with people talking around them. The 220 meter zip line from the 1000 year old tree was a group favorite but the entire experience was epic! Would definitely do it again! Bonus is a portion of your ticket is going back into the forest conservation of wildlife etc. So a definite feel good time!
A.
Wow wow wow! What an experience! The set up and organisation for our day was perfect. We were taken on our journey by Jess & Dana who were simply sensational We had great fun, exhilirating zipline rides and saw such fantastic nature. Highly recommend taking this tour!
J.
What an amazing experience the Ultimate Tour was!! We had such a fantastic time ziplining through the native forest, keeping our balance on the swing bridges and seeing the forest (and a big weta!) and all its splendour from the high platforms which at all times we felt very safe. Info on the conservation side was very interesting and it's great to see something is actively being done to preserve our beautiful forests & its wildlife. Traya & Mitch, you both are awesome guides - incredibly friendly, full of fun & knowledge. Thanks for a totally memorable morning!!
G.
Great experience. Jess and Ash gave us wonderful tour of the forest. Will recommend friends and family ❤️
S.
Me and my nephew did the ultimate zipline it was really cool on 1 the lines there are 2 lines together so you can race your friend or whoever you are with and its about 4 or 600 meters long and you go really fast down it to. When you finish the last zipline you abseil down from the tree which isn't to bad. There are also 3 swing bridges on the ultimate course to. We both had a good time doing this must do if you in rotorua
J.
Our guides Emma and the GOAT of Dad jokes were so much fun and we were very lucky we got them as our guides. Highly recommend the team at Rotorua Canopy Tours, the experience was 👌👌👌👌👌👌
a.
Jono and Lexi were amazing. Fantastic energy and shared lots of informative facts about wildlife and conservation. Would highly recommend!! P.S. - Jono has some pretty cool “DAD” jokes 🤣
M.
Awesome guides. 1st timer to zip lining. Definitely be coming back to do the ultimate tour. Highly recommend
S.
Rotorua Canopy Tours is amazing! Our guides, Ash and Charlie are extremely 😎. The ziplines are so fun (my fav is the 170 meter one from the Original Tours)
Definitely recommended! ❤
From the Zhao family (Sophia, Sammi, Sherry, Sandy, Lan, and Zhu)
P.S: If you get Ash for your guide please give her some hugs! She LOVES hugs <3
K.
This experience was unlike any other. The bush, the zip lining, the environmental education. What a combo. Luke and Jesse were incredible. Very skilled at their work and super calming. Thanks to you all. Highly recommend Canopy Tours!
L.
for the wuss whos questioning going, this review is for you !
im a wuss, im not sure why i even agreed to going lol. i was super nervous on the first platform thinking 'nope i cant do this' - even shed a few tears - but i managed them all !
our guide Nicky held my sweaty hand each time i got scared on the steps (so ... all of them 😅) and was so patient with me, Charley was encouraging me over the walkie and cracked lots of jokes as we went along. the best guides :)
super glad i went and would recommend it to all wuss' out there. bit scary but LOADS of fun ! ur missing out on an incredible experience if u let a few seconds (or minutes!) of fear get in the way. such a rewarding experience
K.
This is an addictive activity, the more you do the more you want to do. We loved Scott and Billy. Thank you for calming our fears and helping us gain confidence. We loved seeing the birds and feeding them. A real highlight of our holiday.
A.
Absolutely loved it!! More than just a zipline experience, it was awesome to learn more about our native NZ forest and birds, as well as the conservation efforts the company is leading. Our guides Paul and Spencer were fantastic - knowledgeable, fun and really knew what they were doing which made us feel super safe. And the views were phenomenal. Would definitely do again
L.
I took two 10 year olds, and we had such an exhilarating time! The guides were awesome - they're fun but also very professional and caring. It was an added bonus getting free photos, and feeding the Robins and Tomtits. The conservation work they do is fantastic.
A.
I can't sing the praises of this outfit enough. My traveling companion has a pain condition, so we did the original experience first to ensure she wasn't out of her depth. We had an awesome time with super funny guides (warning: kiwi humour) and so we came back over the new year to do the ultimate.
The gear is completely suitable and whilst you can get yourself into trouble if you are silly (ignoring instructions from the safety briefing)... I felt safe at all times.
They even squeeze time in for information about the virgin forest you're in and the pest control initiatives you are in part helping to pay for by taking the tour.
This really is a great event and if you're in Rotorua... I'd highly recommend. They are situated just opposite the luge so you can't miss it.
Ultimate trip top tip: In the 400m tandem race zip line... curl into a ball to decrease your wind resistance and get a speed edge on your opponent.
General tip: You dangle from a harness by two flexible cables. You are likely to turn, to correct this for some semblance of control extend one arm or leg out to one side only.
Enjoy. I hope personally they make an even bigger track because if they do I'll definitely return.
J.
Definitely liked our experience. Our guides were very nice and really knowledgeable people. We had a sunny day with hardly any wind too which was great. There was 4 of us and we teamed up with another 5 making 11 of us all together (including the 2 guides). We paid $756 for the 4 of us, which was just far, far too expensive. We did the ultimate course which had 6 zip lines, and a walk around a cliff-face finishing with a drop on a rope at 1 meter per second for the last activity. We really did enjoy ourselves, and i would have rated higher... but the $189 price per adult was waaaay over the top. Should have been half that price. Thank you for a great day though.
S.
If you have ever been to Rotorua and never added Canopy Tours in your TODO list then you have made the biggest mistake.
Totally worth every penny and I would go again and again!!
Thanks guys, Stacey and Luke for taking care of us and all your dad jokes.
m.
HOLY COW!! Simply AMAZING! Loved every single minute of this canopy tour. The instructors/tour guide were very friendly and helpful. Learned a lot on conservation also. Went with my mum who was super scared of heights but with the instructors/tour guides it made her feel safe and she had an amazing time.
t.
I brought my three sons, aged 11, 15, and 17.
We all had a blast. It was a lovely way for all of us to make memories together for a morning.
My 11 yo asked a million questions and we learned about the trees and birds and the conservation efforts in a way which engaged the kids, encouraged good behavior and gave them hope for the future. And we got to go on amazing, beautiful, massive zip-lines and bridges over and through stunning and massive trees. The guides were professional, but appeared relaxed, and happy. My boys loved their humor and seemed to be pondering zip-line guiding as a possible career.
T.
This was an awesome adventure, challenged some of my fears anout heights and ‘letting go’ so to speak. I am pleased I did the original canopy tour. Our guides Matt and Courtney were fun and engaging.
M.
This is an absolute must do if you come to Rotorua. I brought with me, my three boys ages 13,10,7. We went on the Original Canopy Tour and they say it’s one of the best experiences of their life and I agree. Our tour guides Scott and Natalie made this trip so enjoyable and were so good with the kids. I can’t wait to come back and do the Ultimate Canopy tour when the youngest is 10 years old.
J.
One of the most amazing experiences you can do in Rotorua if not NZ! These guys take you though the canopies of a completely native NZ forest. Zipline your way between the towering trees and walk along swing bridges 50m in the air. The guides were extremely friendly and informative and we learnt alot about the amazing conservation efforts that Rotorua Canopy Tours are doing to eliminate pest in the native Bush! A definite must do while you in Rotorua. Couldn't recommend enough 👌
i.
Done the original canopy tour today, the experience outweighed my expectations. We had Nicky and Charlie as our tour guides who were awesome and added humor to the experience 💯
C.
The BEST zip line canopy tour in Rotorua. Awesome communication, great staff. Really well staffed and organized. The zip lines are in amazing locations and are super fun. Cheers to this great outfit for making our trip wonderful. Thanks to Paul and Zarnia and big hugs for the extra special service. Cheers!
N.
Had the best day. Our guides Matty and Charlie were super funny, professional and helpful. Enjoyed the informative talks along the way I actually learnt alot today. Would definitely do this again.
A.
Rotorua Canopy Tours was one of my must do’s when visiting Rotorua. It was cold and wet outside, but they provided this jackets and thick gloves to keep us warm. The ziplines are deep in the woods, so it wasn’t raining too bad there. Riding the ziplines was fun and amazing. They had some really long ones that you got to pick up a lot of speed. Our guides were great too. They made the entire experience fun, entertaining, and educational. Our guides were Bessi, Luke and Will. It was cool that halfway through we stopped before one of the ziplines for snacks, hot coffee, and hot tea. It was really nice since it was so cold outside. Ended ziplining by jumping off a ledge to get down. It was overall a blast and really enjoyed our time.
The Ultimate Canopy Tour were around $160 USD per person. Comes with a group photo at the end.
Suggestions - Bring your GoPro. You can take some amazing photos and videos!
Suggestion 2: You can get discount tickets to Polynesian spa after your zipline. Big discounts!!!
K.
What a great way to spend an afternoon. Luke and Harry were amazing tour guides with a raft of knowledge around the native bird life and forest. Their passion for this part of their work was so genuine and great to see! The ziplining was unreal, such a different way to view the Bush and with the support from Luke and Harry, my family were able to go outside of their comfort zone and enjoy the day! An activity not to be missed!
a.
Best tour I've done in NZ!!
The knowledge of the guides make the tour what it is. Being deep in a beautiful part of New Zealand and experiencing the wildlife is mind blowing.
100% recommend for anyone wanting to get a taste of what NZ use to be like.
L.
I am literally afraid of heights and I still recommend doing this! Our guides were Matt and Stacey and they were so fun and friendly that I forgot about 90% of my fears; Not only did I make it through without so much as a scratch, I really enjoyed myself! I did the original canopy tour, and since there is a returning visitors discount so the next time I'm in Rotorua, I will be doing the Ultimate tour
c.
My sister and I had a fantastic Ultimate tour. Great guides Liv and Paul were experienced at zip lining, knowledgable of their forest and we both felt safe and well looked after by them. A must do when in Rotorua.
J.
Ultimate Canopy Tour was awesome! Very good fun and some adrenaline in the amazing old bush setting.
E.
Amazing experience. We completed this tour as a belated birthday present for my 11yr old daughter. Our guides Nui and Jono were super helpful, informative and made it a really fun experience. Would 100% recommend this tour.
K.
An incredible forest adventure. The zip lining through the forest is breathtaking and our guides Luke and Morgan were awesome.
I also appreciated how this company is deeply involved in protecting the virgin native forest. They use a portion of the ticket cost to set traps for invasive species such as possums and stotes so that the forest can continue to thrive and be preserved for future generations.
One of the best things we did in New Zealand. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny.
M.
Absolutely enjoyed this, went here for my 10 year old brothers birthday and absolutely enjoyed it, Alex our guide was friendly and entertaining giving us information about the wildlife and the commitment that they have done for this area including trapping and planting. The ziplines are fun and 100% safe. Try do a backflip or two and they give a scenic view. 100% recommend this if your in Rotorua.
L.
Highly reccomend to everyone. Harry and Shelly were our guides and the were fabulous, so knowledgeable and passionate for the work and the conservation of the area. The ziplining was epic fun. Would definitely do again.
T.
Thank you for the amazing tour Matt, Amy we had so much fun and I also love the history lesson behind how Rotorua Canopy Tours restored the forest making it it look so beautiful again!!! Will 100% recommending this to friends and family
K.
Safe adventure. Im not much of a thrill seeker but this place allows for people like me who want to feel both the thrill and safe at the same time. Speaking as a person who is not fond of heights, i quite enjoyed it despite being high above the grounds. Plenty of ziplines to make u feel like you're flying. Breathtaking views. A must go if you are in Rotorua. There are a few courses to choose from.
M.
My husband and I did the ultimate canoply tour and it was amazing. Staff (Alex and Harry) are great to hang out with. They are very professional and well prepared. It was very easy to enjoy the tour following their instructions and advice. The views were absolutely stunning. Appreciated the free snacks, water and pictures!
P.
An amazing zip line tour - I have now done both the Original and Ultimate tour and cannot pick which one is better as they are both great. The forest is spectacular and the team are great fun and made us feel safe. Cheynne, you are a great Guide - Holy Cannoli !! I am also impressed with all the conservation work you guys are doing. This is a must do tour!!!
L.
Our group of 7 (ages 14-79!) had an awesome time on the original tour with Ash and Will. Highly recommend to all!
B.
The boys and I came here to celebrate our main man Marc on his stagdo. We all had such an amazing experience. Big shout out to Courtney and Matty for being amazing tour guides and giving us all a core workout of laughter. This was a really special time as we're celebrating our fallen soldier, Marc. #DoubleWrapNextTIme
J.
Fantastic. If you do one ‘adventure activity’ in NZ this should be it. Highly recommend the ultimate tour. Was perfect for family afternoon outing. Great guides too.
G.
More than what we expected. My wife and I had a fantastic time on this tour. The tour leaders, Cam and Isaac were great, they were very experienced and installed confidence in everything we did on the tour. Also. Zip lining is awesome.
T.
Came here with my bf for our 2 year anniversary. He's adventurous and I'm not, but Jess and Paul were so nice and understanding that I managed to do all the zip lining. It was scary but once you're off the platform, it was freaking amazing. Jess and Paul were very informative and gave us warm drinks which we didn't need cause the excitement of it all just kept me warm the entire time. Absolutely loved it and we're going back for the Ultimate tour next time.
C.
Such a great experience. I did the ultimate tour with my wife. The guides we're knowledgeable, funny and friendly
T.
Wicked Experience went alone ended up having beers with others on the tour the team bonding was awesome! Stacy and Matt top Job loved the enthusiasm and Love for the job you guys have Definitely a A Team!!! Cheers Team 🔥

Amazing way to experience native NZ!
Apart from the adrenaline buzz of zip lining, hand feeding the birds was primo.
Being in the tree tops looking down was really unique too.
D.
My dad and I enjoyed the Canopy Tour earlier this month. Our guides, Matt and Emily, were fun and assuaged my fear of the tree bridges by checking on everyone's comfort level and their constant entertaining and kind communication. I highly recommend this as an activity for your travels on the North Island in New Zealand. The guides also provided an education about the local forests, bird populations and their company's commitment to restoring the forests for the returning birds. Sweet As! (I'm still not quite sure what that means but I feel like it works here.He he)
M.
Most enjoyable. The two guides were bloody awesome. Even for over 50's, go for it. Easier than I thought and expected.
S.
You need to do this tour if you come to Rotorua! It's epic and even if you aren't much of an adrenaline junkie you can do this tour and have a great time. Fantastic guides - Luke, Sophie and Cameron. Wonderful experience.
D.
We had a very awesome day. Very well organised. A nice phone call the day before to see if we were ready to go. Luke and Matt were awsome guides, and looked after the little ones.. thanks so much.. will be back for the next level...
F.
The ultimate canopy tour is worth every dollar, it was so much fun. Your money goes towards conservation efforts that protect NZ wildlife which is awesome. The tour itself was amazing and beautiful. The staff were friendly, informative, and I felt safe in their hands. Would recommend to anyone coming to Rotorua.
W.
If you do five things while in Rotorua, make sure this is one of them!!! You will soar, you will sail, your inner child will be set free! A bird even ate right out of my hand! This tour is pure magic and it’s also helps contribute to the protection and restoration of New Zealand’s virgin forest! Take the extra long tour, you’ll thank me later!
S.
Awesome experience! 2 course/trails, we did orginial and the experience was great! Grab a gopro for recording of your adventure!
EDIT! 1 YEAR LATER, done the ultimate course, again highly recommend checking it out! Such a fun experience and the guides are absolutely a great time!
T.
An exceptional experience! I'm a bit terrified of height but the tour guides made it possible to enjoy this lovely, untouched forest.
Highly recommend.
L.
The ultimate canopy tour was challenging to get through but was more than worth it. Incredible scenery and the best tour guides I've ever met
A.
Awesome experience. The guides were excellent. The time just disappeared so quickly. Thoroughly recommend. Will be coming back to do the ultimate one
k.
Had Alex and Dana who are both superb. Did the dawn tour. Had a very delicious breakfast on top of the tree. Recommend the company to invest in better cameras.
W.
This is a great thing to do for the entire family. We went with our seven year old and boy he loved it. Friendly guides and amazing views. Good to see part of the fees being used to kill pests in the forest. Amazing progress there.
In short, highly recommended!
C.
Amazing experience in rejuvenating native forest. See plenty of rimu and NZ birds as you zip through the canopy of the forest. Guides were quite funny and engaging and had your safety in mind. Worth every penny.
A.
The guides are professional, banter stops any nervousness (to some point !) The safety measures are absolutely top of the line. The scenery has to be seen to be appreciated. A couple of informative stops were enlightening. Everyone is catered for according to their age or fear factor. Highly recommend. The grandson in the photo is standing hundreds of feet above the canopy on a short set of steps. She didn't have to push him off !
G.
I am nearly 60 and have a major fear of heights. Earlier this week my daughter, 8 year old grandson and I travelled to Rotorua and did the Canopy Tour. I was terrified but thanks to our incredibly patient, friendly and supportive guides Charlie and Shelley I managed to over come my fear and complete the tour. Their knowledge, professionalism, kindness and humour made us all feel safe and secure at all times. We were so lucky to have them. It was an incredible experience and one we will never forget. We learned a lot about the wonderful conservation work they are doing to preserve this beautiful forest and the native birds that inhabit it. It was very special for my grandson and I to both have a North Island Robin take a worm from our hands. My daughter and grandson loved it so much they plan on returning to do the Ultimate tour. I cannot recommend this experience or the guides highly enough.
R.
Highly recommended and in my opinion this tour is one of the top things to do when visiting Rotorua and the surrounding area.
Our tour guides, Courtney and Jesse, made us feel totally at ease and looked after us so well.
The zips are an absolute thrill too! I had done the Original Tour a few years ago and found this Ultimate Tour to be next level awesome! Walking around the edge of cliff face, overlooking the ancient native forest canopy and the valley below was probably my favourite moment.
Thanks Canopy Tours - we loved the tour and we love the conservation work that you do in this little piece of paradise!!
I.
It’s a really great way to indulge in leafy native forest and learn a bit about how they save the rare birds. Zip lining is fun and exciting. You are safe because of their experience staff who are also informative and very friendly.

My husband and I did the ultimate canoply tour and it was amazing. Staff (Alex and Harry) are great to hang out with. They are very professional and well prepared. It was very easy to enjoy the tour following their instructions and advice. The views were absolutely stunning. Appreciated the free snacks, water and pictures!
G.
More than what we expected. My wife and I had a fantastic time on this tour. The tour leaders, Cam and Isaac were great, they were very experienced and installed confidence in everything we did on the tour. Also. Zip lining is awesome.

A fabulous afternoon out with Rotorua Canopy Tours. The guides are fantastic, thank you Dana and Jesse!
K.
Amazing experience. Guides were excellent and friendly. Had great knowledge of the forest as well.
J.
Wow! Just.....Wow! Did the canopy tour today with daughter and two grandkids, age range 9-70 :-) We all loved the whole experience, enough adrenaline for even the fearless grandson and certainly a satisfying feeling of achievement for the rest of us. Our guides were Ash and Courtney - they were fantastic, gave us such confidence and encouragement that we can't recommend them highly enough. Loved the thoughtful conservation efforts by this company. Will be back!!!
L.
My family and I loved this tour, what a wonderful experience. Great value. The tour guides where great, thank Luisa and Matty! Lots of fun and great to see all the native NZ bush and birds. Also, being part of this tour helps towards conversation of this area and getting rids of pests. No doubt the bird numbers will start to increase in the future which is exciting.
D.
I loved my tour! The guides were super nice and funny. And even though I was a chicken, they flamed my nerves and encouraged me to go on every zip line. Their hospitality is impeccable, and if you're staying in rotorua they'll pick you up! The guides also told us about how the company is trying to help rebuild the forest. I think my favorite part was being able to feed a bird from my hand. It was definitely a highlight on my New Zealand trip.
H.
I strongly recommend to do this tour if you have the chance. Fun, educational, and breathtaking. Must see! Great fun staff to!
j.
What a fabulous experience this is!!
This is the second time we have had the pleasure of zip-lining through this amazing forest.
Don't miss the opportunity to gain more knowledge and to support the native bird-saving-work that this activity contributes to.
N.
Awesome 5 stars really liked the tour.
The ziplines where Huge. We did the original
K.
We booked the dawn trip for our family of four. Up very early but so worth it. We had Nui and Jesse as our guides and they really made our trip. Both of them were great fun, knowledgeable and we all felt very safe in their capable hands. Flying through the treetops has got to be up there as one of the most amazing things you can do. We’d thoroughly recommend this trip and will return for the ultimate one once our youngest is old enough.
T.
So stoked to be able to experience this! Jess and Liv are fantastic tour guides. A definite must do.
G.
Wonderful experience. Great coverage of the history of this forest and what has been achieved in a relatively short period of time. The trees are amazing and to know that they are being looked after is fantastic. We need more initiatives like this around New Zealand.
Thanks for a wonderful 3 hours of experiences and knowledge. We loved it.
J.
Okay this place, the staff and the whole point of the canopy tours was just amazing. Highly recommended doing this. We did the Ultimate Tour. It was so much fun. But knowing that the funds made from the tours goes into the funding of the forest. Can't recommend this enough. Certainly doing it again when we're passing Rotorua.
R.
Exhilarating experience. Done it twice and I'm a not too fit 60 year old and loved it. 13 year old came with me second time around and it rained but was still a buzz for both of us!
A.
If you're looking for an adventure then the canopy tours are perfect with the excitement of 70 km an hour ziplines and the guides share their amazing knowledge of the local bush.
You will be amazed at the progress canopy tours are doing for the bush to bring it back to New Zealand natural Forest
S.
Def do this when visiting Rotorua! The zip lines are great and guides were fun while looking out for you! 👍
M.
I really wanted to review this. Before I took the tour, I didn't know the awesome work these people are doping with the profits. The money is put to conservation work to sustain and revive the glory of native NZ forests! The tour on its own is super fun and spectacular. It is worth your every penny!
M.
The tour was absolutely fantastic. This company really cares about the forest that they do their tours in and they take you through how they are helping to conserve it. The guides are extremely friendly and make you feel at ease and even allow you to download photos that they take of you for free from their website, a rarity in this day and age! Highly recommended and will return when they open up their new tour!!
N.
Had the greatest experience here with my husband. Our guides made the experience memorable for sure. Thank you Scott and Nui for making it entertaining along the way. Much appreciated. Hopefully I have the guts to do the higher one next time.
C.
Truly the most beautiful exciting tour I have ever been on!! Our guides were super nice and made our trip an amazing experience, teaching us about our surroundings and its history, allowing us to hand feed the birds mealworms etc. I highly, highly recommend this tour for the whole family :) I loved learning that part of the tour fee went to helping the forest as well!
P.
Charlie and Courtney were fantastic guides and the tour was amazing, so much fun. Also great to see the money goes into protecting the national Forest. Well done.
K.
I had the most amazing time. Jess and Paul were really good and so supportive of the frightened me. As my confidence grew I enjoyed the experience so so much. Highly recommend this excursion, it is absolutely brilliant. Kim
S.
Really fun, all gear provided, is a bit expensive, is better in the dry but unless really raining is OK to do.
C.
It was easy to book and the tour was very well organised with all the information coming to us ahead of time. The equipment was very good the guides were excellent. Our kids 9 and 7 both really enjoyed it.
P.
Great day out learning about the ecosystem in NZ. The guides are passionate about what they do and it’s a fun day out ziplining through the beautiful forests.
R.
We went on the canopy tour today. My 3 kids aged 7-13 absolutely enjoyed it. I was very impressed with our guides and their attention to safety. Fun and challenging and a must do while in Rotorua 5 stars! I'd give ten stars if I could 👍
C.
The guides were fantastic. Friendly and good banter. They looked after our 6 yo and he had the 'best day of his life!'
The forest is beautiful and the information they shared about trapping and regeneration was interesting.
C.
Amazing experience and will return to do the Ultimate however due to the amazing experience we had with Charlie and Scott at Canopy Tours, are we able to get the same combo again??? Please...
B.
Had the best time! So much fun and so much cool information learned along the way! Our guides Harry and Courtney were awesome and had us laughing and feeling safe the while way along! We did the original tour and will definitely be back for the Ultimate!!
A.
This is a real must. The guides are really knowledgable and the experience of being in the tree tops with fantastic views and the zip wire rides all make this an absolutely brilliant day even for a non adrenaline junkie
R.
One of the best activities my partner and I have done. Natalie and Dana were absolutely AMAZING very informative and always kept those who were nervous (me) very calm. They made this experience extremely fun and I can’t stop raving about it to all my friends. I recommend this to EVERYONE who enjoy a bit of adrenaline rush.
M.
We recently took a school group (intermediate level) and they rated this highly for fun and excitement. The instructors were profesional and friendly, and The gear was in excellent condition. The conservation work was also a highlight. One of our guides, Harry, helped us spot lots of birds, including a grey warbler, and his enthusiasm is infectious - a great representative for the company!
T.
The ultimate canopy tour was exhilarating and unforgettable. A must in Rotorua! Such a unique way to see and admire the stunning native forest whilst ziplining and swing bridge walking above and through the canopy. The walk through the bush was also very enjoyable and informative, and interacting with the robins was pretty special too.
Our guides Jess & Dana were wonderful - friendly, caring, fun and knowledgable. They created an exceptional experience for us. We felt safe and at ease, and laughed a lot. Loved every minute of it, thank you Jess and Dana, and all of the Team behind the scene.
C.
Amazing and safest canopy experience I have ever had. The guides are really cool, making the best for you to have a perfect tour. Can’t wait to do the new tracks after July.
D.
Very professional, safe and friendly for our beautiful afternoon in the bush. Our guides Tegan and Matty were extremely friendly and informative and explained the zip lining procedures and natural aspects so well. Lots of fun and would highly recommend. Our age group was 21, 23, 60 and 62. Great thing also was the company’s ongoing effort with conservation in the area.
A.
Outstanding day! Something for everyone, stunning area, informative guides, and load of fun. Will and Louisa were excellent. We went as a family, 13 and 15 yr old girls, had no problems with the Zip lines, loved the whole experience. Great value for money! Thanks!
L.
Great adventure guides, fun experience, interesting facts about virgin forests and the animals that destroy them and their struggle to combat them. Good variety of long zip lines. But we did find it very tame and slow going. If they would add in confidence course type activities like at Enchanted Adventure Gardens near Melbourne then it would be the best ever especially since these trees are so much more majestic in every way.
N.
This is a must do for anyone interested. Zip line through N.Z virgin forrest with guides. This is also a conservation project which is all very special. Guides were fantastic and personable people with a wealth of knowledge. Suits almost all ages. Very professional and thoroughly awesome.
Z.
Such a good time, and a very memorable experience. Awesome tour guides that made the experience even better. Would definitely love to do it again some time.
l.
What an awesome thing to do! Our guides Nui and Jessie were great. We felt safe the whole time and had so much fun on our Canopy Tour. The interactions with the birds and hearing about the efforts you are putting into the environment are something I highly value. Definitely recommend!
L.
This was heaps of fun, would recommend doing the Ultimate Canopy Tour for the extra long ziplines! It's an amazing way to learn more about NZ rainforest conservation efforts and see some amazing scenery along the way. Big thanks to our guides Tanaya, Matt and Jess. Will definitely be visiting again next time we're in Rotorua!
D.
A fabulous afternoon out with Rotorua Canopy Tours. The guides are fantastic, thank you Dana and Jesse!
M.
My sister, who lives an hour away, had done this tour previously and advised – pretty well ordered – us to do it too, when we were up there last May, on holiday from the South Island.
So we did. It was our first zip line and it was everything my sister said it would be. We had a great time. Five stars are not enough.
E.
Amazing, loved this tour. Even with a slight fear of heights the guides were amazing and made you feel super comfortable and safe. Definitely returning to do the more advanced tour next time.
R.
Awesome experience, would definitely recommend! Louisa and Dana did an amazing job of guiding us through the tour. It's also really cool that the company puts so much effort into nature conservation in the surrounding area as well.
M.
Wow, wow, wow! Such an amazing experience doing the Original Tour with our guides Liv and Jesse! You both were fantastic! The stunning scenery, thrill seeking ziplines and the sense of achievement! I highly recommend everyone to give this a go, you will not be disappointed 😊👍
K.
One of the best activities we have ever done. If you are on the fence about going, book it now. I loved the excitement, nervousness and learnings that occurred throughout the day. Jess and Dana were amazing and not only kept us entertained but were great with keeping our nerves calmed. Can’t wait to book the ultimate canopy tour next time!
M.
Absolutely amazing experience!!! Definitely try the Ultimate Canopy Tours ❤️ so worth it!!
A.
Thank you Louisa and Paul for an amazing zip line through the trees. Our family of five had an awesome time - some of us more challenged than others but we all succeeded and enjoyed every minute!! Fantastic learning about the native birds and trees. We also think it’s awesome the work you are all doing to conserve and maintain the beautiful forest.
M.
Big shout out to our Tour Guides, Jesse and Luke from Canopy Tours, for the magical experience and expertise provided to our family fun day. It may have been a rather wet day but this didn't dampen the fun we all had! Such a neat place with kudos to all the fantastic work done by all the DOC team!
M.
I had never done ziplining before - way out of my comfort zone and loved every minute of it. A huge plus having guides Jesse and Paul who provided expertise, support, encouragement and humour - at the right times. Safety every step of the way beginning with the safety briefing before we set out. Fears could not compete with the magnificent native forest, spectacular views from the canopy and encouragement from our fantastic guides. Don't let age or fear stop you - its worth having a go.
M.
They are amazing! Jesse and Nui were awesome instructors! Professional and patient(with my very scared 9 years old boy).
They have checked everything few times and explained everything perfectly!
Can not recommend the whole experience enough!
K.
We had a great time. Our ages ranged from 73yr to 11 yrs so its achievable for all. They are fully trained and so experienced and gentle at getting the nervous to conquer their fears. The original is challenging and fun. The scenery is stunning and how they are helping the forest is awesome. Definitely do this experience and if you are lucky you will have Ash and Nui.
A.
Absolutely amazing experience for both the outstanding views and for the adrenaline filled experience. Fantastic entertaining tour guides who are willing to have a laugh and help greaten the experience. Plus finding out what the Canopy Tours do in terms of conservation is the icing on top the adrenaline filled cake. Very Highly Recommend.
M.
These guys are fantastic, by far the best run company we have dealt with in NZ. Starting out with the reception you are greeted by an amazingly friendly and informative staff. After some formalities you get to meet your guides who are great fun to be around. You will have a ball of a day, and even get to learn about the conservation programmes that are being to help out the local native wildlife. If you do any tourists activities while you are in NZ make sure you do this! Not only will you have amazing fun and get some great pictures for free, but you will also be supporting a great cause.
R.
I'd give it 100 stars if I could! Totally awesome. Our guides Matt & Natalie were great!
P.
Ash and Luke were our awesome guides with their relaxed happy sense of humour adding to the amazing thrill of flying through the trees. A truly great experience. Luke and Ash are the best! Good value for money.
Highly recommend and look forward to doing this again.
B.
Highly recommend when visiting Rotorua - we had Matt and Nui as our tour guides and they are AMAZING, made us feel at ease, cracked jokes for a laugh and made the tour that much fun.
Massive thank you to Canopy Tours for your fantastic work on the maintenance of the forest and for starting our trip in Rotorua on a high - we'll definitely be back for the Ultimate tour!!
A.
Had such an amazing time going on the Extreme Canopy tour for my 21st birthday! Was blown away by the great customer service by the lovely lady who helped us with rebooking our appointment when we had issues getting there. Our guides were Natalie and Matt and they were so lovely and funny! Everything was explained to us really well and we felt safe and secure the entire time. The knowledge that our guides had about history of the forest as well as safety was very impressive! Was also nice to feel like you’re going on an adventure with friends as Natalie and Matt were so much fun and had a lot of good banter too! Thank you so much Natalie and Matt for making my birthday celebration even more fun! Would 10/10 recommend and be more than happy to go back! :D
A.
What a wonderful time! Wild rides, amazing views, spectacular scenery. Allows you to see and experience our landscape from a truely unique angle. Amazing forest and birdlife. Its wonderful to see a tour company that is truly rejuvenating the environment through low impact tourism and predetor removal.
Ash and Harry were delightful, informative and competent.
Do I need to go on? Just go book.
M.
Great experience, I did the standard canopy tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much I came back and did the ultimate tour today. The twin zipline race was the best! Thanks Jesse and Luke for being the best guides!
m.
Absolutely brilliant day out. Stunning forest with professional and fun guides to lead you through it.
P.
Great day out learning about the ecosystem in NZ. The guides are passionate about what they do and it’s a fun day out ziplining through the beautiful forests.
P.
Charlie and Courtney were fantastic guides and the tour was amazing, so much fun. Also great to see the money goes into protecting the national Forest. Well done.

They are amazing! Jesse and Nui were awesome instructors! Professional and patient(with my very scared 9 years old boy).
They have checked everything few times and explained everything perfectly!
Can not recommend the whole experience enough!
N.
Great staff. Absolutely amazing experience. A MUST!
D.
Definitely a must visit in Rotorua, very passionate people really informative tour and gorgeous views it was a very fun tour!
A.
Thank you Louisa and Paul for an amazing zip line through the trees. Our family of five had an awesome time - some of us more challenged than others but we all succeeded and enjoyed every minute!! Fantastic learning about the native birds …
G.
I am nearly 60 and have a major fear of heights. Earlier this week my daughter, 8 year old grandson and I travelled to Rotorua and did the Canopy Tour. I was terrified but thanks to our incredibly patient, friendly and supportive guides …
R.
Awesome experience, would definitely recommend! Louisa and Dana did an amazing job of guiding us through the tour. It's also really cool that the company puts so much effort into nature conservation in the surrounding area as well.
S.
This tour is amazing. The guides we had were fantastic and did a awesome job of lifting the group's confidence.
If you're not comfortable with heights before, you most likely will be after.
S.
They are amazing. So much fun
D.
Three of us went on this tour and we all had a blast!
The forest is just stunning, the guides were so much fun and extremely knowledgeable (we learned a lot and even got to feed a wild bird) and the ziplines were AMAZING (OMG, the views onto the canopy, just out of this world) - we loved the whole experience!
Thank you so much, Matt, Liv and lovely receptionist Amy for giving us a brilliant experience - we will be back!
L.
I had a fantastic time, bit nervous to start, but put my hand up to go 1st (why did I do that?) But was soooo much fun. Our guides Jesse & Ash were great, we all had a giggle along the way and I learnt some really important information about our wildlife birds 🐦. Would go again tomorrow, will certainly be doing the Ultimate tour, plus recommending to everyone I know. Thank you so much for the time I spent with you.
H.
Excellent experience! Not scary at all! The guides are very accomplished and are able to quell any nervousness you may have. Whizzing through gorgeous virgin native rainforest. A must do!
S.
Loved every moment!! Matt and Harry were amazing guides, so friendly and helpful.
N.
Matt & Kopi were just fantastic guides. Well recommended tour this is!
Y.
This was an excellent activity! We did the ultimate ziplining tour and it was absolutely worth the money, not to mention that we learnt on the tour that part of the profits go to a really successful conservation effort in the virgin native bush we were flying through! What I didn’t expect was how interesting and cool the actual forest was: we got to see some birds (fed one!), saw some werewere kōkako (blue mushrooms) and learned about ferns, birds and conservation. I could tell our guides were really passionate about what they do.
All the ziplines were really beautiful and really exhilarating without being too terrifying. Guides Tegan and Ash were really fun to hang out with and were amazing guides who were very knowledgeable and super friendly, and funny.
Would highly recommend the ultimate tour! Well well worth the price, and just an overall positive, educational, fun, and well-run service :). These guys seem to be some of the best customer experience in tourism I’ve had in Aotearoa.
A.
These guys done a great job through their enthusiastic guides and their knowledge about conservation and the local flora and fauna. Ziplining is no doubt fun!
S.
Brilliant experience made even better with the best tour guides, Harry & Ash. Beautiful scenery, well organised, incredibly safe and very entertaining!
G.
From the moment we walked in the door, it was an instant warm welcome. Service with a smile from both a young gentleman and the bubbly Eloise. Now it was her obvious passion and expert communication skills that hooked us when she could see that we ‘mature’ folk wanted a bit of adventure. Connecting with the various travels she had and we had was the line that reeled us in and being the only two to be privileged in having 2 guides to ourselves was the sinker😊 So, why not do the Ultimate Canopy Tour which included the 400mtr zip line. She’s damn good and a credit to Canopy Tours.
Our guides Matt and Jess were amazing. Being a little anxious of the unknown, we entrusted our safety in their hands and had a ball. We had 3.5 hours of fun, adrenaline rushes and moments to appreciate the tranquility. Their passion was evident in their knowledge on flora and fauna, the different bird calls and their habits, the local history relating to the forest and the way forward in protecting Tane Mahuta.
Definitely the right people for the job and all three deserve acknowledgment for the roles they play. Many thanks to you all for providing an exhilarating, memorable adventure. Highly recommend this, so 55+ just do it!
H.
Awesome day! Highly recommend. Our guides Charlie and Nui were fantastic 👏
S.
An Amazing - tree top experience! I definently recommend the 220 meter zipline! Perfectly Safe and Fun For all Families! Along the Way you have Fun Facts about The forrest And it uniqueness,The View is Very Nice As i insecessentally Looked Down at the View. Tour guide staff are Nice and social.
If you Like to be chill But fun,i recommend the Original Canopy tour.
But if you Like some Thrill,Then the Ultimate canopy tour!
R.
Do this if you've got the time! Recomend filling the group with your own crew.. Very friendly staff with your enjoyment and safety in mind.
V.
Hello Team, thank you for the amazing experience we had at the tour. We were greeted by Eloise who was extremely pleasant to talk to and gave us lots of information. Our guides were Alex and Wayne who were simply awesome and made the trip very enjoyable. They had great sense of humor and kept us highly entertained throughout. All in all, it was a memorable experience and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit despite some scary moments for us first timers with a 6 year old. Thank you and we are sure to be back for the next level tour - from Sid, Virginia and Sara
L.
Fantastic experience! We loved every moment and the time just flew by. Billie and Charley the guides were lovely and made us feel very at ease. I was a little nervous on the first one but its not scary at all its really fun. Definitely give it a go!
We went on the OG tour as a small group of 4
C.
Awesome to do! The guides were great - Courtney and Nui. Really made the trip. Can't recommend enough. So glad you included a section to talk about the mahi you are doing around protecting our native taonga through forest management and pest control.
R.
We did the Ultimate Canopy tour and can't speak more highly of the great experience we had. Safety was their number one priority, yet not sacrificing a thrilling experience for young and old alike. Book NOW. You won't regret it.
E.
I recently took my holiday program to the Rotorua Canopy Tours and we had an incredible time. We had rangatahi aged 6-17 and every single one had a great time - including all the staff. All groups said their guides were helpful, supportive and passionate about their jobs and the native bush that they work in. We all had a lot of fun zip lining and learnt a lot about the flora and fauna of the forrest. I would 100% recommend going to the Rotorua Canopy Tours
Z.
We had such a great experience, most memorable and fun parts actually came from our tour guides! Jess and Will! They are so funny and they seem to be passionate about what they do, which even makes me doubt that they are doing these on a daily basis as a JOB :) (cuz I hate my job). I don’t think my journey would be that much fun without these two. So thank you guys so much, me and Jason will keep you guys in our memory, and the halo heavenly light that shone on Jess in the group photo 😬, see you next time when we travel to Rotorua again!
B.
Quite possibly the best activity I have been on in NZ! The guides we had, Cam and Sophia were awesome and showed a genuine interest in how everyone was enjoying the trip (they even remembered everyone’s names!!) it wasn’t the typical tourist chat it felt more like your friends were taking you zip lining. Do the ultimate tour, you won’t regret spending the extra cash... it’s well worth it! Especially the 400m long duel zip line where you can race each other. The bush is amazing and the guides knowledgeable. We will be back for sure! Top 5 must do in New Zealand! Don’t miss it.
A.
What a team experience. I took 30 staff for part of our Xmas party. Highly recommended. Was safe and never a dull moment .
. Our guides were amazing safe and very funny. Absolutely recommended to anyone over the age of 10 !! . Good bush experience too if u have never seen such beauty . Well.done world class attraction. Shout out to Kope and Ash my group guides , super stars .

The Ultimate Zipline is such an amazing experience - thrilling, terrifying, educational and spectacular...pretty much all at once. The guides and all the team we dealt with were amazing. Our guides, Jesse and Harry were kind and fun...I apologize if I left your hands bruised during those terrifying moments! Thanks for getting me across the gnarly bridges!
B.
Had a Gr8 day swinging through trees 🌳
Charlie & Luke are awesome tour leaders
M.
What an amazing experience with Canopy Tours, go for The Ultimate its worth it. Thanks to Paul and Ash for perfect guiding it was such a fun with them, lot of interesting facts about area and wildlife, they made us feel very comfortable and safe. I would love to do it again.
R.
This was an experience to be had. I am almost 50 and went with my teenager who was patient and kind. The instructors were patient, kind, funny and so knowledgeable. This was a great experience. From the conservation work to the amazing team. A definite to do when visiting Rotorua.
H.
Fabulous day and experience. Guides Cheynne and Zoe were tons of fun, had us laughing and having a great time. Did the Ultimate Canopy Tour and definitely recommend this. Out of this world views ziplining through the gorgeous forests. Appreciate the information on conservation efforts being done in the area. Love the team, the air of positivity, and the experience.
J.
Thanks Nick and Jesse for the wonderful experience! Great fun for the whole family!
S.
Me and my family had a wonderful experience this afternoon. Very experienced and confidence instructors made us feel secure and brave enough to face our fear. Highly recommended.
J.
Best Tourist attraction I've ever been to! The 2 guides Paul and a Jesse were very entertaining and it was obvious that they were passionate about their job and it really helped to make the experience that much better. Not only was it thrilling, but it was calming at the same, with awesome ziplines and beautiful walks through the trees. 100% worth every penny!
R.
12th June Ultimate Canopy Tour with Courtney and Ash - we had a great time doing the Ultimate Canopy Tour. We thoroughly ourselves and the guides were very helpful, friendly and outgoing! Definitely recommend the tour!
N.
The staff are very nice and they provide an exceptional service.
But when it comes to the activity i really wouldn't do Ziplining again cause it is too much work for me for the amount adrenaline it pumps in my body :P.
would rather sky dive but each to their own.
K.
- Amazing experience and experienced guides, Scott and Nicky.
- Several zips through the forest.
- They provide pick up/drop off transportation.
- Very much worth the cost.
- Love the conservation components too.
B.
I honestly could not have been more impressed! What an amazing (not so once in a lifetime because will totally do it again) experience! Dayna and Nui were the best guides and so much fun. Learned so much about the fantastic work these guys are doing to get rid of predators, protect the virgin bush and bring back our beautiful backyard to its former glory. Please support these guys and the brilliant work they are doing! And the zip lines are epic!!!
l.
We loved Canopy tours it was so much fun. I highly recommend this to everyone. Our tour leaders Courtney and Jess were great too.
F.
This experience is a must do!
From the moment we arrived at the office, we were greeted by friendly welcoming staff. Scott, Treia and Nui were very friendly, professional, down to earth and just damn hilarious! made my group feel right at home from the get-go.
A short brief and we were on our way to the Canopy forest.
We learnt a lot of important information about the forest throughout the tour, regarding pest control, the growth of native trees, and the local wildlife as well!
I do have a tiny issue with heights 😩 but Treia and Nui made me feel comfortable, so it wasnt an issue for me at all.
The walk is beautiful, and hidden under the canopy of the forest, was very peaceful. The views are amazing and the ziplines exhilarating! Not only did i enjoy myself, but i enjoyed watching my group have a ton of fun.
We were there for a good few hours, but time just flew by!
I am definitely coming back for sure, within the next few months, and I would recommend this activity to anyone and everyone 😊
Thank you Team Rotorua Canopy Tours for an amazing time.
H.
Epic afternoon with the best tour guides around - Jesse and Matt. Such an engaging and fun tour. Learnt about the forest and its inhabitants. Had many lols. And of course zip lined the heck out of it. Will totally be back!
A.
Amazing experience!! Would highly recommend. Once in a lifetime opportunities that weren’t advertised so were a cool surprise! Amy and Natalie were awesome and hilarious! Loved it!!
H.
A must do in Rotorua! It was our first time ziplining and our guides Nui and Scott were alot of fun and so friendly. We loved hearing about the forest and the wildlife in the area. I would definitely recommend this to anyone passing thru the area!!!
Y.
Amazing staff! Friendly and Fun!
The whole experience worth every penny. I highly recommend these guys if you are looking for some adventure and have love for nature.
A.
Loved our experience on the luge but the zip line was a disappointment, blink and you miss it.
M.
Absolutely
Amazing! My first time zip lining and it was an experience of a lifetime!
J.
Did the Ultimate Tour with Scott and Paul. Very cool, very good with someone who was nervous about stepping off the platforms. The oldest participant on my tour was 80 and he was obviously having a ball while his nervous other half got more and more confident as time went on. The view along the gorges was cool and its really interesting to be up in the canopy getting a different view . Good information on the ecology and conservation of the area and some great viewing of native birds. Recommended
M.
Awesome experience.
I recommend booking here.
Great guides made you feel safe, stunning scenery and cute wildlife
Exceptional conservation efforts to top it all off.
S.
Absolutely the BEST tour ever. Spencer and Jeff were great, brilliant experience.
S.
Awesome experience, I would recommend. The wildlife, zip lines, bridges, native forest were all amazing but what really made it were the 2 guides with their passion and knowledge of the forest and fun attitudes. Would recommend booking with Cheynne and Wayne!
S.
Had an amazing time, thanks to Lauren and Coby, our guides for the afternoon,a very knowledgeable pair and of course the countdown crew, once again great times with you all
C.
A worthwhile challenging outdoor experience in native forest canopy for anyone wishing to test their comfort zones. A great way to spend three hours. Guides were well prepared and knowledgeable and well on top of any perceived risks associated with the experience. An experience that is both educational and well outside the ordinary. Thoroughly recommend.
J.
Superb early morning zipline with Amy and Steff on an early am original experience. Amazing views. Was a nervous starter but felt safe and bucket list ticked. We will be back for the Ultimate next time.
J.
Great venue, great landscape, natural vegetation, fun and informative staff that are very accommodating! Our amazing experience, contributed to the environmental friendly control of pests and predictors to New Zealand's wild life.
Thank you Guys!
Well done!
R.
Great fun. Our guides Alex and Courtney were great. The two big ziplines were a 2nd to none experience. They are also doing a lot of great conservation work with trapping in the scenic reserve.
G.
3.5-hour Rotorua ziplining adventure was amazing. Our favorite part was the tandem and the scenic zipline. The swing bridge too was great. Walking up high in the forest and learning about the forest was interesting. Our guides Jess and Nui made the trip interesting and fun.
C.
An awesome experience!!! Great guides who were fun and knowledgeable. A fantastic conservation talk too, delivered in a brilliant way, not over the top but incredibly thought provoking. Thanks Jess and Paul.
This trip is a must do!!!!
S.
An amazing zip line your through some beautifully untouched forest. Youbwhiz through the trees over a could of hours, getting to see nature from a different angle.
I love their conservation work with all the trapping they are doing through the area. The results of their trapping work is amazing!
b.
So amazing. The sights are incredible with a bit of an adrenaline rush to boot. The guides were super friendly and informative and the work the organisation is doing to save the forest is admirable.
M.
Great experience. Adrenaline rush zipline tour through a local forest. A must for anyone visiting Rotorua.
Friendly staff and highly professional.
C.
This was a fantastic experience & both my grandson & I just loved it! The guides Jesse & Traya were awesome so helpful & friendly. I felt very safe throughout the whole experience. My only suggestion would be to invest in a better camera! However the photos are free so that sort of offsets that! I thoroughly recommend this tour.
K.
Needs 5 plus plus stars for this one.
The team were epic - Matt and Luke were hilarious, awesome balance of goofing around whilst ensuring safety was paramount.
The mahi Rotorua Canopy tours are doing to support conservation in the Dansey rd scneic reserve is commendable!
Definitely worth it.
T.
Awesome time with an awesome crew! Tegan and Paul were full of information and made the experience very fun whilst also being informative about the efforts of protecting the beautiful forest the zip line runs through.
J.
Teagan and Paul were WONDERFUL. It was just my son (10yo) and me and they were patient, fun, informative, and clearly love their jobs. Big thanks to you two for making our visit so memorable:)
J.
Awesome afternoon in the beautiful Dansey Reserve - thanks for lots of laughs & banter to Spencer & Cheyenne, great guides.
k.
Had a great time definitely a life time experience would recommend to anyone our tour guides were Matt and Wayne exceptional at there job and all had a good laugh with them and super friendly
o.
Breathtaking! extraordinary! You must experience this at least once in your life time!
m.
Canopy tours was a great way to engage with our beautiful forests while having a load of fun and meeting other people. The guides were awesome. Highly recommended.
B.
Cannot recommend Rotorua Canopy Tours enough! Friend and I ended up on our own personal tour due to the lack of bookings from COVID and the experience was nothing less than exceptional. Our guides Jess and Sophia were absolutely amazing! Kept us laughing the entire time while also being super knowledgeable, making the experience a wonderfull learning experience on the area and conservation. The ziplining was thrilling with stunning scenery; as someone who has a fear of heights I can say I felt super safe and my mind was completely elsewhere. I definitely look forward to going back in future for the ultimate experience!
J.
A great experience with the best crew for an incredible cause, the restoration of the forest from the depredation of several invasive species.
S.
Really awesome. Super safe and a great way to see our native forrest.
J.
Loved it here, tour guides were great, the tour was awesome, the staff are amazing, I can't rave enough about how much we loved it here.
S.
Amazing day. Did the ultimate experience...had no expectations and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great confidence booster. Definitely recommend doing this with a group of friends. Our guides Tegan and Will were fantastic, conversant and engaging. Also really enjoyed hearing about the conservation efforts that are ongoing.
G.
Wonderful. Great staff, very professional. Safe. Heaps of fun.
G.
Definitely an award winning experience and we will be telling all our friends and family. Nui and Ash were outstanding. Low key, encouraging and technically excellent. You get an A plus for health and safety. Very thorough and I felt totally safe.
We are both fairly fit 70 year olds but not overly so which means it is within reach of people in this age group.
We live in an area where we are constantly dealing with possums, rats and the odd stoat, as well as rabbits and Pukekos. I can totally relate to what you are doing and admiration for what you have achieved already. I can see you are passionate about what you do and I am sure it impressed everyone in the group.
R.
Had so much fun zipping around and learning about nature. Safety is paramount and thry are very strict about it! One of the highlights of our trip in NZ!
B.
Super fun and knowledgeable guides who made the experience so enjoyable. The business also invests a percentage of their profits into pest management which has helped the forest to regenerate significantly. Overall this is a brilliant family activity.
N.
Had a great trip with Luke and T. Awesome zip lines and they showed us all the fun ways to zip, also got up close to some native birds :)
L.
A must do for everyone great staff with high security in place 👍 A thrill of a lifetime.
L.
Amazing site and trees! Fun zip lines. But the best part is the educational aspect to it. What we learn about the animals and the environment.
And on top of that, free pictures. I have never seen a tourist attraction with free photos.
Nice one guys!! Thanks!!
L.
Second time on the tour and this time brought my 10 and 7 year old daughters...Harry and Dana were great with the children and made them feel safe... thanks guys!!
S.
One of the best activities to do in Rotorua! Zip lining from one tree to another in an amazing forest was a memorable afternoon! The staff is nice and helpful!
G.
Had such a great time today! Even though it was raining it was still so much fun. We didn’t get that wet. And raincoats were provided too. The two girls that took us today were so friendly and a lot of fun. You can tell they really enjoy their job.
Thanks so much guys ☺️
A.
Had a great time on the ultimate tour package, they were so accommodating for the surprise birthday for Mum and made it extra special. Tour guides kopie & cam were friendly, funny, knowledgeable on ziplining and also the forest. Felt safe and in good hands... even though there were a few curse words on my end haha (inevitable with heights and speed). Great experience and good to challenge yourself mentally and make a cool memory. Staff were lovely and it was an awesome activity. Recommend this... unique, beautiful, scary, fun and exhilarating.
P.
I’m a professed acrophobic but took the longest zip line tour and canopy walk that these guys offered. It was one of the most amazing outdoor experiences I’ve had! Everything was handled professionally and security was never compromised. Our tour leaders were extremely good at their job. My fear turned into fun and at the end of the tour, I was craving for more zip lines! This experience is a must when you visit the north island.
M.
It would be difficult to pick a favorite part of the 3.5 hour Ultimate Canopy Tour. It was amazing from beginning to end. The instructors we had - Scott and Nui were incredibly knowledgeable, totally professional and organised with everything we saw and did, leaving us completely confident in their safety systems. From the total adrenaline rush of the zip lines, clambering around a rock face 50m above the forest floor, the unsurpassed views out over the top - or through - the virgin forest to witnessing the staggering work being done to clear predators from the forest; the day was a total experience. I will do it again!
T.
If you like nature and adventure,don't miss this tour.
C.
Great fun for all ages! Even with my fear of heights it felt manageable! Bit shout out to our tour guides Colby and Dana for making it a fun and informative trip! Will be back for the Ultimate course one day!
A.
really great zipping tour with conservation info & really fun and safe guides! it was a bit expensive but part of the money goes to conservation so definitely worth it! maybe choose the more advanced zip experience if you’re looking for faster / longer zips, but the original experience was quite fun also!
Q.
Great experience, even the rain wasn't enough to dampen our spirits, actually very calming being right up in the canopy during the rainfall, the guides were a lot of fun, made us feel at ease.
C.
We had a group of 6 today on the Ultimate Experience tour with Josh & Georgia. Had so much fun..highly recommend it! The views from up high in the treetops are amazing & the conservation work being done is incredible. Awesome day all round..thanks Josh & Georgia for all the laughs but also looking after us so well!
T.
One of the most awesome experiences ever, the guides Harry and Natalie were super helpful and energetic. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone.
m.
Great fun well organized, fun tour guides very helpful highly recommended to all
L.
Had great guides and a lot of fun! They were very knowledgeable about the plants and animals around us.
L.
What a fun day! We did the ultimate tour. The rainforest is spectacular, the trees are amazing. Zip lining through and over them gives you a different view and it is well worth it.
There were a few people on our tour who weren't great with heights, but the guides were supportive and helpful throughout to ensure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time.
B.
Had an absolute blast, the forest views were amazing and the guiding from Luke and Ash was excellent. One of my fav activities in NZ so far
D.
Definitely a must visit in Rotorua, very passionate people really informative tour and gorgeous views it was a very fun tour!
S.
Had an awesome with my 8 yo kid doing the original canopy. A big shout out to Liv and Wayne for looking after us so well 👍
P.
What a fantastic day out , the team have great humor and really easy going , great at calming nerves and making the ultimate zip line tour a day to remember , 100s of meters of cool zip lines in a fantastic forest full of great views and beautiful native trees , super safe but adrenaline pumping , would recommend.
K.
Was bloody amazing, would highly recommend! (We already want to go back!). We were lucky enough to be guided by Jesse and Matt who had an awesome sense of humor. Suitable for all ages! 100% happy 😁✌
M.
An amazing tour, company, and organization of people. The forest was beautiful thanks to all their conservation efforts! The ziplines were great, and I felt safe the whole time. The crew were funny, helpful, and encouraging. They really knew how to help us get the most of our tour!
S.
It was an absolute blast! So much fun "flying" through the forest rather than walking; gives a complete different perspective on nature and forestry. The guides were spectacular in terms of humour and knowledge about conservation and history. I love how this tour perfectly combines education and fun into one. One very important thing to note is WEAR MULTIPLE LAYERS OF WOOLEN SOCKS, or else your toes will be frozen.
D.
Go Pro Start Recording: Spencer and Rebecca made this a trip of a lifetime. On the must do list. Fun. Educational. Memorable. Part of your money goes to help the environment. Highly recommend. Rebecca should be employee of the month. Go Pro Stop Recording.
B.
The staffs were very friendly and welcoming and the zipline was fun too!
S.
Having a fear of heights, the Ultimate Canopy Tour was certainly challenging! The guides were absolutely exceptional with their encouragement and safety. The ziplines are amazing and learning about the forest made this an exceptional tour.
Highly recommend ... and Ill be back!
R.
So so fun!! The guides are amazing. 100% recommended! Going back to do the Ultimate next time. 😃
R.
So much fun!!! Great guides that are informative but fun. We had an amazing time. Will come back soon with our kids
S.
The most amazing experience with my teen son and his friends.
L.
Great day out. Fantastic guides who encouraged me and helped me through my nerves.
Great to see some birds and hear about your conservation works
D.
Had an awesome day zooming through the trees and learning about New Zealands native Flora and fauna! Definitely recommend this experience to all who visit Rotorua :)
J.
Amazing, informative activity for our family of 6. Went when it was drizzling but coats were supplied and the tree canopy kept us dry. Loved interacting with native birds and watching giant trees shoot by as we ziplined at speed. Thank you.
L.
We had such a great time! Our guides were Haley and Jen and they were both so professional and so fun to be around. We felt very safe the entire time, and they were also great to chat with. They knew a lot about the forest and the animals, and were very encouraging on all the lines. Would definitely do it again.
D.
Had a blast, well worth a visit. Doing their bit to help get rid of pests.
J.
Fantastic tour. Can't stress enough how good the tour guides we had were. Really made you feel safe and secure! And the views you got swinging through the trees were incredible!
H.
Completed the ultimate canopy tour today 👍🏻 a HUGE thank you to our guides Harry and Jesse, they really made this adventure awesome, these two made sure everyone felt safe and secure, they also made sure everyone was having a good time! The passion and enthusiasm with the native forest and birds really made this trip about more then just zip lining. Thank you so much for this adventure!! We will be back 😁😁
R.
Friendly and helpful and fun staff - good with the safety too. They made sure we got the most out of the tour. Great ziplines - the Original was not too crazy (which I was happy with) but they do an extreme one too. Interesting to learn about how the tour plays its part in promoting the indigenous wildlife.
K.
Amzing time
Kopi and Harry the guides made it even better
Thanks guy
J.
We had a sisters experience here today and I cant recommend it highly enough. Our guides were absolutely amazing 10/10 for their energy and support. I also didnt realise in doing this activity it supported the forest pest control. DO The CANOPY TOUR!
C.
Went in the Original tour expecting a beautiful nature experience with some zip lining. Was not disappointed on that front. Also learnt a lot about NZ native flora and fauna, which I was not expecting. Not only educational, but tastefully done. Cannot wait to come back
J.
Great tour. Learned a lot about the local flora and fauna. Felt very safe and beautiful scenery.
C.
Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. From feeding the birds, walking through the bush, leaping from the platforms, beautiful views, learning about the eco conservation program, bonding with people from other countries, and the friendly good humoured staff we had the best time. At no time did we feel unsafe ever. Recommend this adventure to anyone.
D.
Absolutely atemberaubend!
Rotorua Canopy Tours has proven to be meine favourite place I have visited in Rotorua to date!
Across from the wonderful Skyline Rotorua, Rotorua Canopy Tours hides among the busy natured lives of the local Rotoruians!
This wunderbar establishment is in the prime of Rotorua making it an extremely handy-dandy location, didn’t even have to look twice it was so easy to find!
We began by taking these beautiful clean white vans that were just fabelhaft up to the zip-lining site and of course this beautiful ten minute road trip was all inclusive!
I chose the Ultimate Zip Lining package because I believe the biggest package is best for the man with the biggest package! (This is of course a reference to meine world record for the biggest package to be transported across the wonders of the German countryside in 1994 by aircraft)
We had the beautiful and wonderful tour guides: Louise (Lu) und Ash! They were hervorragend! I couldn’t possibly ask for a better pair of hostess!
Thank you for taking the time to read meine constructive review of Rotorua Canopy Tours!
Sincerely, with love
Dr Heimen Ousen Lousen Eisen-Hower Hitlah Vaan Vouchen Housen Meschànt.
D.
Did the original canopy tour today, Matt and Scott our guides, were excellent. They had a great sense of humour while also putting us at ease throughout. Really enjoyed our adventure, definitely worth a visit!
T.
Oh man! What an experience! Our guides Jeff and Dan were great fun, had tonnes of knowledge and made us feel safe every step of the way. We loved every moment! Thank you.
One of the best parts was learning about the conservation work they do though donations and tour costs. It's incredible!
G.
Fantastic tour in the beautiful native nz bush. Experiencing the tree tops via zip lines was epic. A great bonding time with my daughter was had and the guides were funny, knowledgeable and know how to keep the nervous feel safe. We'll done team, well be back for the advanced tour AAA+++
J.
Great experience. Did ultimate tour. 6 zip lines, longest at 400 meters long. Bridges like swing bridges are a good experience still. Well looked after. Ive now been 3 times
T.
It was great one of the best tours I have ever done. The guides we had where very professional and well trained made me feel very safe and took good care of us during the tour thay also made us feel at ease the while time. The Zip lines are so much fun. The facts about the vergin forest where very informative and thay work thay do to keep it the way it is is brilliant. Very very higly recomended by me and I plan on returning one day and doing the ultimate course.
D.
I've been on zipline tours in other parts of the world's before, but this was by far the best of them all! The Ultimate tour was totally awesome, with 6 zip lines, several suspended bridges, and beautiful views during the entire tour. Great guides provide a plethora of facts and stories making it really informative and entertaining at the same time. Awesome experience!
W.
Beautiful native forest with a series of nice zip lines. The organization is actively engaged with nature preservation. Part of the ticket price contributes to that cause. But the best of all are the guides. Dana and Zania were professional, extremely friendly and very entertaining! A must do!
B.
Did the canopy tours today and it was fantastic! Our guides were really cool, informative and funny, they provided a really amazing all round experience! The zip lines were absolutely thrilling. The staff even offered to give us a lift back to our hotel after the tour had concluded. 10/10 would zipline again
S.
Absolutely fabulous experience!! Untouched forest, conservation in action and the exhilaration of ziplining through the trees. I thought I would be terrified but I loved it. Wish I had booked the ultimate tour ..... our guides Courtenay and Dan were fantastic and made our experience! We felt safe in competent (and very funny) hands. Thoroughly professional operation all round. This is a MUST do in Rotorua!!
J.
We were on the fence about doing the tour because it is costly but it was so worth it and knowing the money is going towards a good cause. We are glad we did the ultimate tour with the amazing guides Paul and Cheynne who shared their knowledge with us about the forest and wildlife. If you're lucky you may get the chance to feed the Robin bird from your hand. You feel safe at all times and the views are amazing. 3.5 hours went by super quick! They offer free photos which is a huge bonus! Love love love! Thank you Paul and Cheynne for making everyone in the group feel welcomed and at ease and not forgetting the lovely receptionist who greeted everyone warmly 💖
T.
Loved the experience. Guides were professional and made you feel safe. Great experience to share with a group of friends. Would definitely recommend it. Also like the fact that they are working with conservation dept to help preserve the forest.
C.
Amazing Experience!! Ash and Zoe were awesome. Very friendly and funny. would highly recommend this!
G.
Had done the Original tour a few years back, and did the Ultimate tour this time. Definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone, but always felt safe. Guides Dan and Zoe were great
C.
The most awesome family activity in Rotorua by far!! Plus you get to help with forest conservation. Scott and Scotty were the best!!Highly Recommended!!
S.
Fantastic trip. Very knowledgeable guides who were also lots of fun. The experience up in the trees was great fun and the information about the forest and wildlife really interesting. Well looked after - recommended.
D.
Myself and three children (14, 12 and 9 years of age) adored this event. the guides were fabulous, really knowledgeable and engaging. The insight into conservation was a treat, and the rides and walk were a privilege. We will definitely be back, and we would recommend it for anyone - any age, and any level of bravery. Gorgeous!
S.
Zoe and Spencer gave us the most incredible experience! They made everything so much fun and it shows how much they love what they do. Thank you for the best way to start our day and help us make some hilarious memories that we will all remember!
A.
For me, it was just right extreme experiences. If you are expecting thrilling and crazy activities, I to be honest recommend Adrenalin Forest.
However Canopy tour was also very fun and thrilling and you don't really need extreme strength.
I loved to hear the about eco history and how they are protecting this virgin forest.
At first I thought it's quite pricey but now I understand why. It includes the tax for our beautiful nature.
I recommend to hire Go pro and trust is the key for enjoying this tour!
L.
Highly recommend 👌 Paul & Tegan we brilliant guides, we had such a blast, looking forward to coming back and doing the other Zip Lining tour and the night tour.
T.
Oh what fun it is to... wander up high in the trees, cruising bridges and zip lining between them. Guides Zoë and Matt were super friendly and knew their stuff. We were on the 7am trip and it was really fantastic. Definite worth doing if you have the chance.
A.
What a beautiful and awe-inspiring experience! We did the ultimate tour and despite being nervous about heights I felt safe and entertained the whole time. Our guides, Paul, Matt, and Matt were great and made sure we had a fun time. The sights were amazing and I'm so glad we went!
D.
Have done a fair bit of emergency rescue rope training in the past so was comfortable at heights and swinging in a harness,which didn't mean a thing really at the end of the day. There is no "on rope" experience needed to have an absolutely fantastic time with Rotorua canopy tours. My family and I had a blast with the guides showing us around there playground. This tour was definitely the highlight of our weekend. An absolute must do.
K.
A huge thankyou to our hilarious tour guides yesterday! glocklan (issac),Jizzle(jesse) and aubry(Liv) you guys were amazing and down to earth. we really enjoyed our adventure through the beautiful and untouched nz rainforest (the way it should be) and to have such passionate and informative guides along for the journey! we couldnt have asked for a better afternoon. 100% reccomend this tour, One we would love to do again!. Aubry was full of information ask her anything! Glocklan showed us some cool tiny dirt piles and jizzle was so kind to share his pocket of worms with us 😂
The tour overall was stunning and we came away with so much knowledge along with a new appreciation for nz in its natural state. Rotorua canopy tours you hit the nail on the head!
D.
Great tour, with lots of info about the forest from Scott and ash. Some great views from the zip lines.
M.
I decided to do this tour with my two teenagers, who are absolute daredevils and fear nothing, even though I am afraid of heights.
The guides were really lovely, had lots of local knowledge and clearly cared about conservation of the area.
This will go down as one of my top three experiences on this trip and I can’t recommend it highly enough. So much fun!
J.
My Fiance and I were so lucky to enjoy the ultimate tour this past week. I have so many good things to say but I wouldn’t be able to fit it all in. Our guides were Jess and Bassie, I swear they made the experience 10x more enjoyable then it already was. They made us both feel like we were just a group of friends hanging out.
The canopy tour was the best way to enjoy New Zealand in my opinion. Soaring across the tree tops, amazing views, amazing course and amazing knowledge. I enjoyed how the tour was not only fun but education and how I left knowing so much about the animals and plants of NZ.
We also got to stop and feed some little birds which was amazing and take memory lasting photos along the way. If visiting rotorua, definitely make sure you take part in the canopy tours and hope you get Jess and Bassie as your guides because I promise you’ll be smiling ear to ear.
Can’t wait to visit again, as I will definitely be taking part once again!
Kia ora from those two canadians!
P.
Wow, what an epic experience.
A great experience from start to finish. I'm scared of heights but Dave and Hayley were great at putting my mind at rest, to the point that by the end I would have happily gone round again. Safety is uppermost in the guide's minds but they also ensure you see and enjoy the forest from the most amazing and fun viewpoint, and also understand all the work the team are doing to support the conservation of the forest. This is a must do experience for any one that likes nature or flying through the air screaming at the top of their lungs. I fully recommend it.
K.
The zip lining was a fantastic experience. Harry & Luke really set the tone for a great day, they were funny, informative and supportive. I would recommend this to anyone, even if you're afraid of heights.
K.
4 of us went zip lining last weekend and what an amazing morning we had!!! It was one of the best things I have ever done!! Our wonderful guides Moi and Spencer were great too, they were professional and very funny which really added to our experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get out of their comfort zone for a day and also experience some of beautiful NZ.
M.
A fantastic experience for anyone looking to get into native New Zealand forests with little effort and knowledgeable guides to keep you safe and make the experience fun. A little bit of fitness and a sense of adventure is all you need, the team provided the rest for us. We did the Original Tour and had young kids along who seemed to love the challenge. You might want to take a warm top as we did feel the wind when we got on the higher platforms. Thanks Emily and Shelley for passing on so much knowledge about NZ native forests birds and how you are getting rid of pests.
D.
Awesome adventure with great and effective conservation efforts.
A.
Awesome experience doing the ultimate tour. The guides are mostly what make this such an awesome thing to do so thanks to Natalie, Spencer and Zoey. The forest is a spectacular place to visit and they work hard on conserving the area.

Absolutely loved going on the original tour, was so much fun and such a cool experience. Our guides Anita and Scott were so amazing and made the tour just as much as the views and zip lines! Can't wait to get to come back to do the ultimate tour next time! Thank you so much, was the highlight of our weekend!

We did the Ultimate zip line course today, and it was worth every penny. Dan and Corbin did such an awesome job as our guides - 10/10 would recommend this to anyone. I’m so glad we found Rotorua Canopy Tours! Plus, a portion of your ticket price goes towards some really amazing conservation efforts that you’ll learn all about during your tour.

Great adventure! We went on the Ultimate Canopy Tour. Beautiful nature, great guides and exciting ziplines, bridges and absail. Our group was taken care of and entertained by Scott, Jess and Jordan (they make up an excellent team together). Btw, they take a few good photos while on the way and do not charge extra. So we say, GO!
S.
Wow, what an amazing experience! I loved the unique combination of adrenalin, nature, conservation and comradery.
T.
Amazing experience! Tons of high flying fun and they educate you on multiple important facets of canopy life. The friendly guides keep you safe while you zipline hundreds of feet off the ground, but they also teach you about the fauna and flora of the canopy! They spend tons of money each year on conservation projects in the canopy so your money goes towards more than just a good time. Do not miss out on doing this if you are in Rotorua!
S.
This was one of the best adventurous activity my friend and I did in New Zealand! It’s worth it! We had the best tour guides Cheynne and Shanyn! They were really fun and made the experience a better one. Everyone was amazing. Zip-lining through the forest was surreal. Also got educated about the forest and more. Just do it. Have fun :)
J.
Beautiful place, which itself is a wonder to visit. Add educated and entertaining tour guides, suspension bridges and zip lines over awesome canyons and canopies and you have a winning recipe. And to top it of the money you pay for the tour not only pays the good guides, but also helps restoring the forest. Win-win!
R.
Absolutely stunning tour and a completely unique experience. One moment your hand feeding native NZ birds, the next flying through the most beautiful NZ native forest I've ever seen, the next pumping the adrenaline on crazy swing bridges and zip lines. An unforgettable family and team experience with amazing knowledgeable guides. If you're going near Rotorua this should be at the top of your bucket list!
C.
Wow wow wow - how good is this?!? We had a wondertul time today with your amazing team, and venue, and would recommend your epic experience to anyone. Thanks so much.
D.
Awesome 3 hours. Our guides (Tanisha and Spencer) were great, very knowledgeable. They got everyone in the group to feel part of one team, rather than the 3 family groups. Wonderful views and exhilarating rides on the zip lines.
L.
We went on this tour on Christmas eve, and loved it. Our guides, Scott and Alice were awesome, very knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. Loved that part of your fee goes back into conserving the forest. Well worth the money, highly recommend.
T.
It was a great experience. I was in a small group, so we didn't have to wait long. The guides we're amazing. So friendly, nice jokes and they know alot about the nature. The ziplines itself are amazing. You start with a few short ones, but there two really long with a stunning view. Everything is well organized. I had a good time.
P.
This was a wonderful mix of information and adventure. The balance between the two was spot on and our guides (Shane and Jen) were lots of fun. When I read the tour would be up to three hours I thought it would be too long. It definitely wasn't. Highly recommended!!
Knowing that some of the money goes to conservation made it even better.
S.
Worth every bit of your money 💵
One of the best experiences I had in Rotorua was Zipline👍
Paul And Tenaya were fantastic instructors.
C.
Such an incredible experience! You'll learn about our flora & fauna and the conservation efforts being done from the awesome guides, all while you're up a tree!! Thank you Roto Canopy Tours!!
K.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! The staff are amazing and the nature is beyond stunning! highly recommend for anyone.
A.
Awesome experience! Our guides were personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. The tour itself is breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime level fantastic. I'd recommend this tour to anyone in New Zealand!
v.
We had a great time on our ziplines, Paul and Dana were so funny and friendly and knowledgeable about what you are seeking to achieve improving the environment. We got some great photos and totally recommend ziplining as an extreme adventure
J.
Exceptional experience of the large (the tree canopy) and the small (especially the north island robin), thanks in large part to the deep knowledge and expertise of Shane and Julian. This experience will bring me back to NZ to experience the new and expanded course they are now building. Three years later, this experience remains my #1 memory of our three weeks in NZ.
S.
Had such a fun time on the original tour last night! Even with a slight fear of heights, the staff were friendly, encouraging and helpful. Absolutely no regrets (besides maybe not doing the ultimate tour with more ziplines). So much fun!
P.
What an amazing experience, the setting was amazing, the guides were knowledgeable, friendly and approachable (once all the safety briefings had been completed) and the zip wires were fantastic, highly recommend it to anyone looking for some great fun. It also helps with the conservation of the forest by funding the eradication of invasive species (rat, possum and stoat) that are destroying the natural eco system of the area.
D.
Very well done. An awesome adventure
E.
Really informative and fun. It was a pleasure to meet a small group of people in this enchanting setting. Would recommend for families with children so they can learn about conservation efforts and be introduced to the effects of man on nature. The guides were friendly and gave very clear instructions on safety. I was not once ill at ease.
R.
Did the ultimate canopy tour. Great way to see the forest, guides were fun and ziplines are pretty fast. A very low wobbly bridge to get the adrenaline pumping.
A.
Amazing experience, beautiful crew and a way to fund incredible conservation work too. Get in and support NZ and hang out in some beautiful virgin forest!!
s.
Good experience,good time for spent!
I will back soon!
I.
Fantastic tour, very professional and super chill at the same time, great guides made the whole experience exceptional. Right down to remembering everyone's names throughout the tour and having my Sons birthday highlighted up on the sign for him which made him one happy little 10 year old. If you are a kiwi or traveler alike you will appreciate the work this crew have put into restoring and reinvigorating a great little slice of NZ. All while having an exciting experience, a heap of fun! Keep up the good work guys and girls, see you when my oldest is 10 for the ultimate tour!
K.
This was the best zip line adventure money can buy. Well worth it, plus they are working towards conservation efforts in the forest. Cam and Shane were amazing guides, plus their sense of humor put it over the top. I would DEFINITELY recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Rotorua. Thanks for the awesome memories! =)
W.
Amazing time, lots of fun and very good security on the ropes and zip lines. The guides are very well trained and know what they are doing. We like to go again an other time. Thanks guys and girls
C.
Had an amazing time in March. I was travelling solo and the group I was in was lovely. Staff were encouraging and kind. What an experience. Was the lucky one chosen to have a robin (bird) land on my hand. I’ll never forget my experience. Highly recommend!!
A.
Amazing experience. I am afraid of heights as is my 9 year old. Was quickly reassured and my family of 4 had the best time. Our guides were professional and had great rapport with our kids, encouraging them and helping them. Instructions were clear and we learnt a lot about the local environmental initiative's. We intend to return to do the longer one ASAP
J.
Amazing tour. Jeff and Paul were the best guides and I love what this company is doing for our native forest and birds. Great stuff guys. Well worth the money. The Zip line was so fun!
S.
Forest, staff and experience, all were so amazing!!! 😀
T.
Had an awesome time this morning with our guides Dan and Mitch doing the canopy tour. A stunning setting, the guides had a great sense of humor, lots of laughs and ziplining was alot of fun.

K.
Awesome sights. Humorous and informed guides. Good fun but also great to see the restoration and conservation side of things.

I was proud of my self because I am afraid of highs and this made my day choices change I will definitely come back again and let everyone I know my experiences I want to thank everyone who was with me at the time and to our 2 best crew team leaders aime & Deanna.
M.
Had a fantastic time. Staff were friendly and cheerful and made sure we were safe at all times. They also pointed out the historic, noteworthy parts of the forest- it wasn't just about the zipping, although that was so much fun too. Highly recommended.
S.
The most amazing and beautiful day. our guides Matt and T were funny, happy, informative, passionate and FUN. Best day. Thank you
D.
Amazing one-of-a-kind tour in a stunning virgin forest. Truly beautiful with an abundance of natural wildlife and the zip lines are top line! Loved the friendliness and knowledge of the guides as well.
k.
Very cool time ziplining! Staff are super friendly and it is a really cool activity to do as a group, a couple or for work, can't reccomend this place enough! It is also helping conservation of a natural forest too 😁
F.
Our guides Paul & Matt were absolutely amazing! So professional, very kind with a big sense of humour. They really made me feel so safe and calm, even though I am afraid of heights and I did things I never thought I would dare to do :-)
A.
Had an awesome time checking out the canopy today with these guys. Special shout out to Kopi (guessing the spelling there, did you know your name is Malaysian for coffee? Fun fact) and Spencer (the slow-mo robin video you took is epic) for being such great guides
K.
What a tremendous experience, so much fun! Our guides, Scott, Y, and Alice went above and beyond to ensure our time was enjoyable, and they were sincerely genuine people. I would recommend this to anyone who visits New Zealand!
M.
It was an amazing tour with really cool guides. Was there with a friend of mine and we had a lot of fun in the forest. It was even cool to learn something about their work to save new Zealands birds.
T.
Anything less than 5 stars and I’d be lying. This activity is absolutely amazing, recommend it to everyone. Had so much fun and enjoyed the rain forest. Cheers Paul and Jesse👍
T.
Beautiful! Peaceful! The guides were great, I felt very safe. We're in our 60's and in average physical condition, and it was no problem to do.
l.
such an amazing experience, our tour guides (Teagan and Coby) were simply great. It was good to learn about all the conservation efforts being done in the forest. Money spent well.
T.
This was the perfect experience for us. Scott and Holly were our canopy tour guides and they were fantastic! Super informative and always making sure we were safe. Highly recommend this tour and the Ultimate package!
Thx again Chad and Kim
T.
We were apprehensive at the start but once we started was a great experience. I was keen to go again the next day. Luke and Santraea you are the best. We will be back
M.
We (the family) have done this twice and can't recommend it enough. The exhilarating feel if flying above the native forest is quite something else.
Each visit we've had brilliant guides and you will too.
If you're worried about heights then know that there is no pressure, the ziplines build up and it's safety safety safety at all times.
Note: we did the original course, there is an additional one coming mid-2018, can't wait to get back and try that out.
J.
best rotorua experience
D.
Awesome day with family. Wonderful experience.
K.
Been twice, done both tours once on my own once with family both times absolutely rocked. Would go again.
A.
Awesome morning, Luke and Paul were fantastic guides and we had such a great time, will definitely do again next time we are in Rotorua 😁
T.
Fantastic adventure, well managed, informative, a big ups for the conservation efforts.
A.
Awesome guides, so knowledgeable and fun, incredible tour on the ultimate zip lines and feeding wild birds. Would definitely do again. Thank you ever so much for an amazing experience.
R.
I have done quite a lot of tours, activities etc in a lot of different countries and this is definitely 1 of my favourite activities ever.
The zip-lining is awesome and includes some really long ones that allow you to really take in the spectacular views.
Not only that it is educational and you learn about how they are trying to eradicate pests which I had no idea about. I actually forgot I was zip-lining for 15-20 minutes. Some of the money goes towards eliminating pests which is cool.
The cherry on the cake is A) you are allowed bring your own camera and snap away B) the pictures they take are sent to you for free. That never happens with these type of tours.
Absolutely outstanding. I can not recommend this enough.
L.
Absolutely amazing, Dana and Aimee the guides were so helpful explaining everything. Feel they made the experience so much easier for myself.
E.
This was SO MUCH FUN, we had such great guides! We learned loads about virgin native forest and how we can protect it!
S.
Wow!!! So much fun!! Great 'all weather' activity, either in a group or for an individual. I certainly feel I conquered some fears today. Not only are you millions of miles from the sturdy, safeness of the ground, zipping from tree to tree, you're also learning plenty about the beautiful surroundings and how this amazing company is helping the local endangered wildlife. Thank you to the whole team, especially our very patient, incredibly comical, awesome guides, Scott and Kris with a K! You guys made us laugh the whole time and put us at ease when some of us were a bit hesitant, I ended up swinging upside-down!!!!!...Haha! Keep up the amazing work you all do. So much fun and excitement to be had for all ages.
M.
What a cool experience! Highly recommend the Ultimate Tour, Matt & Adam were tons of fun & we love that part of our ticket proceeds go towards the forest conservation efforts.
R.
A brilliant experience, Matt and T were excellent guides who ensured we had lots of fun throughout the experience
