5.00Honestly I had the best experience alongside my family! Jordan and Gena were the best team to have guide us and they had so much patience and compassion as we had no idea my youngest Porsha was afraid of heights but Gena was so great with her and built a awesome rapport with her that lead to her confidence coming out whilst Jordan entertained the older teens and had everyone so comfortable an laughing! Best crew to be taken through this tour with and would highly recommend them!!! Also had an amazing opportunity from the start we were meant to be in 4pm slot but my kids forgot covered shoes but the Boss handling our group was lovely enough to throw us into the 5pm slot so it allowed us time to go get shoes this is by far the most amazing experience to have as he didn’t even had to do that for us! If you want a great time this is the place to go!!!! From zip lines to history about the Redwoods kaupapa and all the different amazing bridges then the final fall ticks all boxes for me! Hopefully I got the names and spelling correct ✅ worth the money you spend to have the thrills 🔥
Beyond good

5.00Have been to the redwoods and Rotorua dozens of times since moving here 22 years ago- never thought to do the walk. This altitude walk, is relatively new and what an amazing experience with guides Eden and Jordon who made it absolutely awesome. Your visit to Rotorua would be pointless without experiencing this attraction.
Fun adventure in the tree tops

5.00Smooth experience, was very fun! Danni and Chloe made it easier for my girlfriend who is scared of heights. She actually got through the whole course and even did the optional leap at the end!

5.00Absolutely amazing, I was super super terrified and Danni & Chloe made it the easiest experience. Chloe also made it so much easier to have fun whilst up so high! They were both so supportive and really helped my experience be what it was! I'd definitely go again and I am less petrified of heights now!
Adventurous Fun!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience. Couldn’t fault the amazing guides Eden and Meg and Te. A unique experience and by far one of the cooler zipline/high ropes course. A great price point for the experience considering you get an amazing 15 minute guided tour through the new glow worm cave. Couldn’t fault. Would recommend to anyone young and old (and able bodied).
