Our Original Canopy Tour is eco-tourism at its absolute best - in fact, this tour just won a 2019 '100% Pure Experience'Award which we're pretty proud of.

You'll also find yourself 22m up in the air on our highest platform, and cross some phenomenal swing bridges. These vantage points will give you a whole new perspective on how special NewZealand's native forests really are.

Our guides are trained to keep you completely safe, and are guaranteed to make you smile! We'll also show you why you're at the heart of our conservation story and explain how you're literally saving this forest from destruction.

Canopy Tours Ultimate
Headquarters at 147 Fairy Springs Road, Rotorua

Our Ultimate Canopy Tour will completely take your breath away. You'll find yourself standing near the top of towering native trees; flying across fern-clad valleys that have stood untouched for 1000 years and climbing suspended staircases and bridges that will blow your mind. You might even be lucky enough to hand-feed wild North Island robin which is pretty incredible.

The Ultimate Canopy Tour is our premium product and we've recently taken this tour to a whole new level. Our longest, 400m zipline is now a tandem zipline so you can ride side-by-side and share this unforgettable experience; we've built more shelter on some platforms; you'll now get a snack and drink along the way; and we've also developed a system to slow down one of our most scenic ziplines so you can really soak up the amazing view.

The Ultimate Canopy Tour is higher, longer and 100% more spectacular than our Original Canopy Tour.

Off Road NZ
193 Amoore Road, RD2, Rotorua (off SH5 between Rotorua and Hamilton)

Off Road NZ provide the best self-drive, off road vehicle experiences in New Zealand, including 4WD Bush Safaris and Monster 4X4 Thrill Rides. On the 4WD Bush Safari you professional guide, up ahead, gives you instructions while your heart is racing with anticipation. The terrain is like nothing you've encountered before and the challenges come thick and fast! As you traverse unbelievably steep climbs and descents; tight, twisting bends; deep, muddy holes; the 4WD rocks and pitches. Foliage brushes past… you come to a bridge of poles over a creek - how can you possibly get across that? And suddenly the luge: a six metre-high controlled slide down a near-vertical 80-degree slope. Adrenaline pumping, you try not to look down. Follow instructions and take a leap of faith!

The Monster 4X4 Thrill Ride you'll feel your adrenaline begin to pump. With a roar and utilising its massive suspension, it accelerates into the bush and tears up a steep track. The 4X4's unique 4-wheel steering mechanism helps to power through New Zealand native bush, up and down near-vertical slopes tackling the 'Widow Maker' and the 'Loggers Long Drop'. Your knuckles are white as trees brush past. It twists; it bucks; it swerves; it tilts - every part of your body will be holding on tight.

Off Road NZ's newest adventure is Raceline Karting providing an opportunity to race a 390cc 4-stroke Kart on New Zealand's newest and longest KartSport circuit.

Off Road NZ is located on a beautiful NZ native bush-clad property on the Mamaku Plateau, just 20 minutes north of Rotorua City.
