5.00Our guides Lotte & Rafa, were fun and energetic. Travelled as a family (2A + 2 kids) and a number of us 'nervous ones' were guided with patience and kindness. Their knowledge of the history of the area and environment made for a lovely outing. 2 hours felt a lot shorter (I checked the time ha ha)..Easy 5*
Absolutely amazing! My...

5.00Maria and Ollie were amazing instructors very communicative, funny, and easy to be around. They made everyone feel comfortable and never pushed anyone who felt hesitant or scared. Such awesome guides and a great experience, especially for those who aren’t big on fear factors.

5.00This was amazing, a top New Zealand experience for us. Our teen kids absolutely loved it as well. Everything ran perfectly and we felt totally safe and in such good hands. Special mention of our two fantastic guides Ollie and Sharpee. They were hilarious - so much fun but still completely reassuring, safe and supportive (I was the only one who needed that 🙈). They also gave us great chat about the forest, the native plants and animals and restoration work. You get to do so much more than I expected which was incredible. The views are unreal and we got absolutely amazing photos emailed to us for free afterwards which they had been snapping away for us all. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed reliving the experience today with the pics. There is also a (completely separate) great beer garden and cafe right next door for afterwards which is an added bonus.
must do in Rotorua

5.00Some in our group had not zip lined before but Nui and Lex did a great job of making everyone feel safe with some interesting facts about the nature that we were walking through. Got to go backwards and upside-down which I had never done before. Highly recommend. We had arranged to get a car at the port but it didn't get delivered so we had to hire a guy at the port. Lex was so concerned that she tracked us down to give us contact info for NZ version of Better Business Bureau. We did get a refund on our car. Went white water rafting after grabbing a bite at the yummy Okere Falls Store within walking distance.
