Are you ready to soar over waterfalls, zoom through pristine native forests, and be enlightened through a hands-on cultural and ecological experience in Okere Falls, Rotorua? If so, then Rotorua Ziplines has you covered. Suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities, a network of ziplines, swing bridges, and boardwalks will have you in awe for 2.5 hours as you fly, walk and gaze at the stunning taiao (Environment) that is Ōkere.
Born through an intimate connection with the Ōkere Awa (Kaituna River), this joint venture between Ngāti Hinerangi and Rotorua Rafting’s Ōkere Falls born and bred, Sam Sutton, has been created to showcase its mauri (spirit) and importance with Aotearoa’s soon to be premier zipline experience.

5.00What an incredible day ziplining with the best guides Marie and Ella! I had the best time flying through the trees, laughing the whole way, and cheering each other on. A little bit of nerves at the start, but so much fun once we took off! Such a special adventure together, unforgettable memories and plenty of laughs.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Aleese and Ellie. The girls were exceptional and helped my wife (who is scared of heights) through the challenging swing bridge . Thoroughly recommend the experience. It was also great to know we helped contribute to the planting of the native trees goal of 100,000 trees. it was also very educational on our New Zealand culture and fauna
Thrills, laughs, learning and unforgettable views!

5.00Gorgeous, breathtaking scenery, awesome rides and experiences and great local history knowledge... The cost is very reasonable, and all photos accessible for free. We only had 2 others in our group that day, so it was a very personalised experience! The crew - Ellie & Johnny - were amazing ... and managed to be totally professional and on top of all safety, but also relaxed and engaging. They made the 2-hour experience 5 star! A cannot miss for anyone visiting Rotorua!
Worth Every Cent and More!

5.00Blown away by both the staff and the experience itself. From the very start, when we walked in and could hear the guides laughing with each other, the vibe was standout. There’s heaps of amazing stuff to do in Rotorua but there definitely isn’t that level of warmth and service everywhere. The group of guides started to chat and hype up my Mr. 12 right from registration at the desk. Johnny and Ellie then took us into the forest and it was truly like visiting two welcoming family friends excited to share their cool ‘home’ with us. How much they genuinely love the forest, the river and the ziplines is so evident in their vibe and approach. I also really appreciate how much Rotorua Ziplines actively care & maintain the environment. They took their time, celebrated my son and every exciting, brave thing he did. I have a chronic illness and they also intuitively slowed down the walking bits in parts, allowing me to maintain my dignity but still keep up, when they noticed me struggling fitness wise. The ziplines are nestled in an amazing landscape and vary in length, speed and acrobatics; the swing bridge was not my favourite haha, but my son loved jumping, dangling and even hanging upside down, while I desperately clung to the rope and shuffled my feet. Worth every cent and more! We’ll probably return and do it again!
