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

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!

Stepping into Hell's Gate Geothermal Park in Rotorua felt like entering a prehistoric world. This place is an absolute must-visit! The guided tour, which was nothing short of excellent. Seeing the steaming fumaroles, the boiling mud, and the raw power of the landscape up close was a truly epic experience—nature at its most fierce and beautiful. But the real magic happened afterwards at the mud spa. After exploring the active thermal park, dipping into the geothermal mud baths and sulphur spas was pure heaven. It was superbly refreshing to soak in the warm, nutrient-rich waters while looking out over the misty, unique landscape. What I loved most is how inclusive it is. It really is suitable for all age groups; my whole family, from the elders to the little ones, had a fantastic time. It is the perfect blend of education, adventure, and pure relaxation. If you are in Rotorua, do not miss Hell's Gate. It is an experience for the soul!

suggest to factor 3 hours including checking in, resting between each activity - showering at the end. i went there at 8.45 and start walking in with the staff at about 8.50. i finished showering at the end and walked out for my next itinerary at 11.30. If i had known that i should have factored more times to it, i would have done so. go there early morning like me and you kinda pretty mcuh get the whole space for yourself!

It was safe, professional and so much fun. They knew what they were absolutely doing at all times and we never doubted that they would take absolute good care of us. Highly recommend this activity!

Zoey and Ellie were fantastic guides! I really appreciate their enthusiasm in bringing our group around and made me feel included, especially as a solo traveller. Learnt a lot about glow worms from Zoey since she led our group.

the rapids were rapid but the guides were very detailed and reassuring in their instructions during the brief. wasn't cold too because they provided layers and booties. really have to just bring along swimwear to wear inside and a towel to dry off after.
