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.

What 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.
