5.00The guides Nui and Rapha were brilliant, they gave us a talk as we were going around the ziplines about the local birds, plants and a brief history of NZ. The ziplines were fun and varied, we felt in very safe hands. Our guides took photos and videos which they shared with us at no extra cost. I would highly recommend this

5.00Nui and Johnny were AMAZING hosts right from check-in through to the end. We were well informed and given lots of options to try out on the course… they were knowledgeable about the area and the forest flora, fauna and birds. Affordable pricing and I definitely recommend to anyone wanting to be adventurous and try something different! I’ll be back to try your other activities 💜
Great experience

5.00We had an absolutely amazing time at Rotorua Zipline and rafting! The zipline course was thrilling, smooth, and set in stunning scenery—huge shoutout to Ellie and Nui, who were fun, confident, and made everyone feel totally safe while still keeping the laughs coming. The rafting was just as awesome. Pedro was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, calm, and confident. He made the rapids exciting without ever feeling overwhelming and turned the whole trip into a memorable adventure. Top-notch guides, epic experiences, and nonstop smiles. Would 100% recommend both of these experiences.
Great experience
