Rotorua Canopy Tours

Soar through the trees and experience ancient New Zealand forest like never before. Named one of South Pacific’s top 10 experiences, Rotorua Canopy Tours is an adventure not to be missed. 

There are two unique eco-tour experiences to choose from, featuring a network of ziplines, swing bridges, cliff walks and treetop platforms, as you journey deep into 500 hectares of ancient forest. Immerse yourself in this intact native eco-system filled with towering trees, native flora and beautiful birdsong. 

Each tour has a limit of 10 people and your knowledgeable kiwi guides bring fun and creativity to a story that goes back 1000 years. It’s an adventure that puts you at the heart of the forest restoration story, with every ticket purchased contributing to conservation efforts to restore the Dansey Road Scenic Reserve.

The Original Canopy Tour

This award-winning three-hour tour is perfect for all ages. Your guides will show you what New Zealand was once like from the top of the forest canopy and explain the conservation challenges that now exist. In between the thrill of ziplines and suspended tree bridges, you’ll see and hear wood pigeons, tui, North Island robins, bellbirds, tomtits, fantails and more as they flit amongst the tree canopy around you. Come and explore this unique environment and create amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
