Voted TripAdvisor’s #11 experience on the planet!
In just three years of operating, our Ultimate Canopy Tour has been voted TripAdvisor’s #11 experience on the planet!
You can imagine how many thousands of experiences around the world were in the running for this position. For our little kiwi business to be recognised as the 11th is humbling and makes us more than proud to do what we do!
From the Original Canopy Tour being build by hand, carrying platforms in piece by piece, our Ultimate Canopy Tour is an evolutionary transition in many ways, An engineering feat which involved drones, helicopters and new technology we were able to reach new areas of the forest, provide new exciting features and expand the area of forest we protect.
Thank you to everyone who has come to experience the Ultimate and left heart felted reviews for others to get excited about it too. We love your support and we’ll keep delivering world class experiences!
