Okere Falls Zipline Experience Tickets
The Okere Falls Zipline Experience takes you soaring above Rotorua's native forest canopy on four thrilling ziplines spanning 1.2 kilometres. You'll reach speeds of up to 40 kilometres per hour as you glide over three dramatic waterfalls, including the spectacular Tutea Falls, the world's highest commercially rafted waterfall at 7 metres high. This eco-focused adventure combines adrenaline with cultural storytelling, as expert Maori guides share traditional knowledge whilst you explore the Ōkere Falls Scenic Reserve from a unique aerial perspective.
What sets this experience apart is the blend of adventure and conservation. You'll walk across swing bridges and purpose-built boardwalks through ancient forest, sample traditional Maori teas made from native plants, and plant your own native tree to help preserve New Zealand's environment. The thoughtfully integrated platforms and cables showcase native rimu and totara trees whilst offering panoramic views of this pristine landscape. Keep your eyes peeled for native kereru wood pigeons and perhaps even a rare glimpse of a kiwi bird.
