We had an amazing time on the high ropes. The instructors were great and gave us the confidence to do it - considering we were both afraid of heights! A must do experience in Rotorua. The trees take your breath away. Highly recommend. Thanks to Jordan and the girls we had so much fun.

A must experience! Also, do the package deal with the Night Lights. You get fast tracked entry - which at the time I didn’t fully understand what that meant. Well, the line for people without fast tracked entry went all the way out to the parking lot! I was able to skip the line and wait about 5 minutes for the next group of people to walk the canopy. The High Ropes adventure was so much fun -I have a bit of a fear of heights, but loved every moment. Our 2 guides were fabulous and encouraging. I’d absolutely do it again.

I can always find something to complain about... but not this time. Guides were fantastic, the course is excellent. Difficult at times and challenged my fear of heights, but always felt safe and supported. Awesome to be up in the tree canopy.

Epic!!! Not only was this fun, it was challenging, incredibly designed, beautiful, and daring. The guides were patient and thoughtful when it came to the nerves of being that high up. We felt safe the entire time! There were different challenges throughout. The zip lines were so fun!

This was such a great experience! Not until you're there do you get a true appreciation of the height and being surrounded by the redwoods in the treetop. The guides were great ensuring everyone felt supported and put to ease any doubts. The experience at the end was not something I thought I'd ever do, but so glad I did it

Amazing experience despite the fact that I’m a bit afraid of heights. The redwood forest is just magical. Our guides, Jordan and Tomia were fantastic. They were great coaches and made us all very comfortable high above ground.
