Zipline through stunning native forest with your family

A zipline adventure unlike any other. This activity will have you soaring over waterfalls and through gorgeous natural woods while immersing you in the rich Maori heritage in Rotorua.


If soaring through the air as a bird over waterfalls sounds like something you would enjoy, then this activity is going to blow your socks off. Located just 20 minutes from Central Rotorua in the paradise of Okere Falls, you can experience four epic zip lines, a swing bridge, and a network of elevated boardwalks. It is the perfect activity to create lifelong memories.

The zip lines are located above the famous Kaituna River (Okere awa). Guided by two locals, you will stay entertained with stories of their ancestors and their deep connection with the area. You will sip on ancient Maori tea and then get your hands dirty as you plant a native tree in your name to become a part of the reforestation mission too. This is a 2.5-hour journey.
