Amazing Experience! - We have done zip lines before, and this was probably one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Mason and Lenox made it stellar. Thanks to them not only did we have an amazing time flying through the trees, but was better than we had expected. They both added a lot of commentary and helped us learn a lot about the forest, which added so much to our experience of New Zealand beyond just a zip lining experience. It was one of the highlights of our whole NZ trip!

A real highlight of my trip - I did the original canopy tour in the morning and loved it so much that I immediately booked on to the ultimate canopy tour in the afternoon. Shane and Laura were excellent leaders. Friendly, warm and knowledgeable about the conservation project that is at the heart of this excellent adventure.

Back 6 years later to do it again! - I did the original tour in 2018 and knew I had to come back when visiting Rotorua again. Doing the Ultimate tour this time was a great way to take it to the next level! The tour guides do such a great job of ensuring the vibes positive and keeping you calm if you’re nervous about heights. Your ticket price is going towards conservation efforts too, so spending the money on it is a no brainer.

Great time, Friendly staff, Perfect experience! - Absolutely incredible experience. Guides Mitch and Chap were as good as they come and made sure that everyone was included and enjoying it. They made it fun and included many jokes throuought the day, but still conveyed safety messages well, and ensured everyones utmost safety. One of our group members got to the start of the first zipline, and decided that she didn't want to do it anymore. The guides were quick and efficient to handle it, arranging for transport back to the base, and offered a voucher for the value of the tickets. The wide range of ziplines varied in thrill, but all were highly enjoyable. The whole experience was absolutely top notch and I couldn't be happier with how it went. This is marketed as the world's best nature activity, and it absolutely lives up to that claim. Highly recommend!

Must add to your bucket list… - It was a thrilling experience, truly unique, fantastic service from our guides: Mitch and Travis. My family and I recommend this amazing tour to those who are looking to try new things. The zip lines felt surreal with outstanding views. And if you are scared of heights it doesn’t feel that high up. Our guides were patient and took us through the 3.5 hour experience smoothly. Glad we choose the ultimate tour package. 😊

Totally worth it. Highly recommended. - Excellent experience, really beautiful and highly recommended. Staff are all amazing and so helpful. The safety is top notch and my usual fear of heights was just nonexistent because I felt totally looked after and safe. Great mix of adrenaline from the zip lines and enjoying the beauty/learning out the conservation. Was also lucky enough to feed one of the local birds from my palm.

A must do in Rotorua - Great experience. Our guides; Sam, Mac and Tara were awesome. They were super fun - creating a wonderful experience from the moment we started the kitting out and brief. The ziplining was awesome culminating in a 400m run. The knowledge of the conservation efforts in the area was super interesting and the final descent from the trees was a buzz. Memorable experience for my whole family

Great zips. Lots of Canopy. Great Guides - Mitch and Travis did a great job on the tour and the tree canopy in the forest was beautiful…..but no lakes or water. Only qualm was lack of clarity about picking up at destination hotel vs having to arrange our own travel….still not clear, but we Uber’d and it would have been nice to have the pick up service that was listed
