Experience the thrill of soaring through the treetops on the exhilarating Ōkere Zip tour with Rotorua Ziplines. This 2.5 hour Rotorua zipline tour takes adventure seekers on a high-flying journey through lush New Zealand's forests above the famous Kaituna River.
The Ōkere Zip is an adrenaline-pumping experience, suspending you as high as 30 metres above the forest floor by sturdy cables and harnesses. The ziplining course includes four ziplines, a swing bridge and a series of elevated boardwalks - the longest zipline measuring in at 236 metres. Hold on tight as you reach speeds up to 40km/h, with the option to race a friend on the dual zipline! As you zoom from platform to platform, you'll be treated to spectacular views of three gushing Rotorua waterfalls, forest canopies and the surrounding Rotorua landscape. You'll even experience a unique view of the mighty Tutea Falls (7 metres), the highest commercially rafting waterfall in the world. So keep a special eye out for rafters!

Two knowledgeable guides will accompany you through the tour to provide expert instruction and ensure your safety.

Your Rotorua zipline tour also includes highlights of tasting ancient Maori teas and planting a native tree with your name on it!

Awesome team, well organised, our 5 and 8 year olds had a blast and so did we! Free photos and videos taken by the guides were an added bonus.
We loved our morning zip lining. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The zip lines were fun and the scenery and walkways were beautiful. We felt very safe the whole time and loved the company's commitment to improving the environment. Thank you for a fun and memorable experience.
