Fantastic 5.0
Probably the best experience my family had in NZ.. This canopy tour and zip line is a smash!! The trail was out of the world scenic and we felt really safe in the hands of the guides.. Jake was amazing and friendly.. Will highly recommend this canopy trip if you ever want to do it once

Great 4.0
A very pleasant activity in a very pretty setting. The rabbits are very calm and allow themselves to be petted. The mini golf is well done with fun courses for the children. A fun activity to do as a family.

We loved this! Newy and Ellie were the best guides! We took the whole family, 2 adults with 5 kids ( Ages 5, 7, 10, 15, 16) the ziplines were so fun and not scary at all. My 5 yr old rode with my husband and did great! There were 4 ziplines and a bridge. We were able to zipline backwards and upside down. Highly recommend!

it was a great experience for my first time there. the sight, smell and sound was an eye opener of what actually a thermal wonderland is. it has a strong history and wonderful host we had that morning to welcome the show. parking on site was free , do head early as it starts around 1030am.

A wonderful cultural overview, thanks to Mr T and his cousins for their enthusiasm and making it a great experience. Unfortunately we didn’t see the kiwi birds and we had some rain but it didn’t ruin the well organised tour. The buffet was excellent, oysters, mussels in white sauce, a range of salads and hot food and desserts. The evening finished with a beautiful haka show.
