    Altitude adventure for 50 and 21 year old mom and son

    Amanda_S, May 2026
    We had an amazing time on the ropes bridges and zip lines of Altitude! The best part was the jump at the end so don’t miss it. The guides did a fantastic job explaining how to navigate the course and I felt safe the whole time. My son and I had a ton of fun on this adventure!

    It was my first time doing the zip lining thing. But Megan and Eden were absolutely amazing and explained everything in detail and were there at every step to look out for us. I would say that it couldn’t have been better than this. Definitely an experience I would remember my entire life. Eden even gave us all chocolates in the end:) very sweet gal!!

    Incredibly fun activity with great guides and just enough height in the trees that you feel engaged and excited the entire time.

    Such a great experience

    Zali_R, Dec 2025
    We had a great time! Our three guides, Dani, Jess and Meg were wonderful and made the experience fun and we felt safe the entire time. The forest is beautiful. We would highly recommend this experience

    This was such a great...

    Erin_H, Nov 2025
    This was such a great experience! Not until you're there do you get a true appreciation of the height and being surrounded by the redwoods in the treetop. The guides were great ensuring everyone felt supported and put to ease any doubts. The experience at the end was not something I thought I'd ever do, but so glad I did it

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Kia Ora, Erin_H, thanks for the wonderful review! Sounds like you had a great trip on Altitude!

    Do this experience if you are visiting Rotorua!

    Francisco_N, Jul 2025
    This experience within the Redwoods of Rotorua was incredible. I felt safe throughout the whole journey throughout the various rope bridges, zip-lines, and with the final descent. If you are thinking about signing up for this but are a little nervous, don’t be. At the end you will look back and be glad you were able to participate in this within your time in Rotorua.

    Fun and informative

    Nicole_M, Apr 2025
    Group pace is determined by the slowest member of the group. We had a child who had to return to start as too scared to do the zipline. Other than that it was awesome fun.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Kia Ora, Nicole_M, Thanks for sharing your experience with us! We understand that everyone's comfort level is different, especially when it comes to heights — big kudos to that young adventurer for giving it a go! We're glad to hear the rest of the journey was awesome fun for you. Hope to see you back again sometime for more treetop adventures! 🌿💪
