Longer, higher, and more immersive than any other zipline adventure in New Zealand. Built as a progression from the award-winning Original Canopy Tour, this adventure takes everything guests love and pushes it further. The Original set the standard. The Ultimate raises it.

Over 3.5 unforgettable hours, you’ll venture deeper into a unique ancient forest full of wildlife found nowhere else on earth. It begins with a spiral staircase wrapped around a 1,000-year-old miro, then rolls into 1.2 km of canopy flight: building in length from 50 m to 100 m, then 200 m, and into a 400 m side-by-side tandem zipline that is pure forest flying!

It’s an experience stacked with one-of-a-kind features: three massive suspended swing bridges (including a 70 m span), New Zealand’s only cliff walk wrapped around a 250,000-year-old volcanic rock face 50 m above the valley, and the country’s only floating staircase, hanging between two ancient trees. Platforms reside in the tops of 1000 year old giant rimu and tawa tress; around every corner, something new and exciting.

This is more than exciting Rotorua zipline thrills – it’s a deep, immersive journey through one of Aotearoa’s last rare native forests, now alive with birdsong after a decade of hands-on restoration. In small groups led by our legendary superhero guides, you’ll stay safe, stoked, and connected – you may even hand-feed wild native birds while seeing how your visit helps bring this forest back to life.

Recognition came fast: within two years of launch, the Ultimate was named the #11 Activity in the World by Tripadvisor – recognition of the breathtaking scale, beauty, and uniqueness of the experience. Years on, it still raises the bar. The name says it all, this is the Ultimate.
