Fly through an ancient native forest with us, then melt into Rotorua’s famous hot mineral pools with lake views. It’s the local’s favourite combo for couples, families, and anyone chasing a feel-alive day and deep relaxation and healing.
Rotorua Canopy Tours: Adventure with Purpose
Zipline into a rare, ancient native forest with small groups and world-class guides. Fly on six unique ziplines, traverse suspended swing bridges, and land on tree top hidden platforms to see the odd cheeky native bird. Reassuringly, guests rave about how safe they feel with our crew and we’ve racked up major accolades over the years.
Original Canopy Tour – Ultimate Canopy Tour
Polynesian Spa – Deluxe Lake Spa (evening… or morning)
A peaceful lakefront sanctuary with landscaped mineral pools (temperatures typically ~36–41°C), lounges, towels/lockers and that wide-open Lake Rotorua outlook. Pools are fed by Priest (great for sore muscles) and Rachel (silica/alkaline, loved for skin) springs. Geothermal recliners and a cold plunge round it out.
How to plan your perfect Zip & Soak day
- Option 1: Zip → Dine → Soak (classic flow)
Morning or early-arvo Rotorua Canopy Tour (allow 3–3.5 hours round trip) → dinner in town or by the lake → Polynesian Spa – Deluxe Lake Spa for a twilight wind-down with lake views. - Option 2: Soak → Lunch → Zip (fresh start)
Ease into the day at Polynesian Spa – Deluxe Lake Spa (morning session) → relaxed lunch → Rotorua Canopy Tour in the afternoon. You’ll arrive warmed, awake and ready to fly.
What to bring
- Canopy Tours: closed-toe shoes, extra clothing layer, cameras (we have free photos but you can take some too).
- Deluxe Lake Spa: swimwear; towels/lockers provided with entry; bring a warm layer for the stroll out.
