Two Globally Awarded Rotorua Activities

Discover Rotorua Activities with a Wild Side – Two Epic Adventures Where Zipline Thrills Are Just the Beginning

These aren’t just zipline tours – they’re two of the most unforgettable Rotorua activities, backed by global acclaim, 10,000 five-star reviews, and recognition as the best nature experiences on Earth. Rotorua Canopy Tours does adventure differently – with purpose, heart, and a whole lot of wild.

Choose from two world-class zipline experiences that will have you soaring through the treetops of one of Aotearoa’s last ancient forests. Cross swing bridges, fly between towering native trees, and dive into the wildest Rotorua adventures.

The Original Canopy Tour is immersive, spectacular, and packed with heart. The Ultimate Canopy Tour is a step up – bigger ziplines, longer suspended bridges, and new thrills around every corner. Different in pace and scale, both share the same purpose, impact, and unforgettable moments.
