  • 5The Ziplines Fun Adventure!

    This place was absolutely amazing. We loved it and the guides? Incredible. The guides names were both Emma, which made it easy for us to remember. In our (my family) opinion, we found the highest and longest ziplines were our main favorite. Thanks Rotorua Canopy Tours!

  • 5Amazing experience zip lining through native forest

    Amazing experience! It was a bit scary (for me, but not for the teenagers!), but I’m so glad I did it! The tour lasted about 2 and a half hours, which was enough time for 5 zip lines and a couple of swing bridges.

About Rotorua

Rotorua is a geothermal city on New Zealand's North Island, with steaming vents, bubbling mud, a lake and a strong Māori culture.

Rotorua sits on the shore of Lake Rotorua in the centre of the North Island, a city built on a volcanic plateau where steam rises from vents in parks and by the roadside and the smell of sulphur hangs in the air. The Te Arawa people have lived here for centuries, and their culture is visible in carved meeting houses, performances and the living village of Whakarewarewa, where residents cook food in natural steam.

Top-ranked sights in Rotorua: Lake Rotorua, Te Puia, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland.
