Ōkere Zip Rotorua Ziplines | Kaituna River | Shaara Deals
A two-hour zipline experience over three waterfalls on the Kaituna River, grounded in Māori culture and conservation with local iwi Ngāti Pikiao, from $169 with Rotorua Ziplines on Shaara Deals.
Born from an intimate connection with the Ōkere Awa, Rotorua Ziplines' zipline experience over the Kaituna River is grounded in culture, conservation and connection, from $169 on Shaara Deals.
A joint venture with local iwi
This two-hour experience is a joint venture between Rotorua Rafting and local iwi Ngāti Pikiao, showcasing the mauri (spirit) and significance of the Ōkere Awa (Kaituna River). You'll be guided by two experienced local experts who share kōrero and stories of the ancestors and the deep connection with the area.
Four ziplines over three waterfalls
Soar through the air like a bird over three waterfalls — including the 7m Tutea Falls — on four ziplines, across a swing bridge and along a series of elevated boardwalks suspended over one of New Zealand's most iconic rivers.
Tea, tree planting and a living legacy
Along the journey, you'll sip ancient Māori tea and become part of the reforestation kaupapa to plant 100,000 native trees by 2030 — as of 1 January 2026, 68,000 are already in the ground, helping Ōkere Falls thrive for generations to come.
