Experience the Okere Falls Zipline in Rotorua, Bay of Plenty
Get ready to soar through native forest and over waterfalls on the Rotorua Ziplines experience in Okere Falls, Rotorua, where a 2.5-hour guided circuit of ziplines, swing bridges and boardwalks lets you fly, walk and gaze at the stunning taiao of Ōkere; you’ll also take part in a hands-on cultural and ecological experience rooted in the relationship with the Ōkere Awa (Kaituna River) and created as a joint venture to showcase its mauri for visitors to Aotearoa and the wider Bay of Plenty Region. Suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities, the activity blends Adventure & Thrill and immersive learning, and every guest helps enhance the environment through a reforestation project that sees you leave a tree in your name as the site works toward planting 60,000 native trees by the end of 2025 so Ōkere and its waterways thrive for generations to come.
