Are you ready to soar over waterfalls, zoom through pristine native forests, and be enlightened through a hands-on cultural and ecological experience in Okere Falls, Rotorua? If so, then Rotorua Ziplines has you covered.
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.
Born through an intimate connection with the Ōkere Awa (Kaituna River), this joint venture between Ngāti Hinerangi and Rotorua Rafting’s Ōkere Falls born and bred, Sam Sutton, has been created to showcase its mauri (spirit) and importance with Aotearoa’s soon to be premier zipline experience.
Ensuring that our taiao is enhanced through the very operation will have every guest leaving a tree in their name as Rotorua Ziplines reforestation project plant its way towards 60,000 native trees by the end of 2025 to see Ōkere Falls thrive for generations to come.

Ollie and Ruby were great, professional, comical in their delivery, engaging, informative and really friendly. My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. 4 zip lines, the walking bridge, the Kawakawa drink, and the love hearts provide an amazing experience that is well worth the money. Highly recommend
Response from the operator · Rotorua Z Cheers for the wonderful review! So glad to hear that you and your girls had such a blast out there with Ollie and Ruby. Hope to see you all back again soon!
