Nina and Fran were two of the most energetic, funny, conscientious, and even tempered guides. They were patient with my group, which consisted of a number of older people who had not had a lot of experience zip lining. I really like the way this company integrates zip lining with forest conservation. A portion of your ticket price is donated to a nonprofit that overseas the health of this mature New Zealand forest

Outstanding experience from start to finish! Adventure in a natural setting with great guides (and bird pals). Good for young and old, fighting-fit and slightly creaky. Have a go!

A really fun way to explore the Rotorua canopy and learn about its conservation efforts! Our guides, Andrew and Steve, were awesome and super knowledgeable. The tour included 6 ziplines and 2 or 3 suspension bridges. We got great photos (included for free!), had the chance to feed wild birds, and even got to turn upside down on our last line. The scenery is stunning, of course, so it was simply an awesome experience all around.

OMG, it was absolutely amazing!!!!!! This was my first time zip lining and I loved it. Our guides Andrew and Vincent were the best. I felt safe and they checked and rechecked our equipment before each of the 6 zip lines included in our tour. Also they were very knowledgeable about the conservation of the forest and its inhabitants during our hike in and out of the forest.
