Ōkere Zip + Mud Spa

Start your adventure with Rotorua Ziplines, a unique experience created in partnership with local iwi Ngāti Pikiao to showcase the mauri (spirit) and cultural significance of the Ōkere Awa (Kaituna River).

Soar above three stunning waterfalls across four exciting ziplines, cross a swing bridge and wander through beautiful native forest. Along the way, your local guides will share stories of Māori history, introduce you to traditional Māori tea and show you how we're helping restore this special part of Rotorua through native tree planting.

After your zipline adventure, take a short drive to Hell's Gate, home to Rotorua's famous geothermal mud bathing experience.

Immerse yourself in warm, mineral-rich geothermal mud before washing off and relaxing in the soothing sulphur spas. Surrounded by the extraordinary geothermal landscape, it's the perfect way to unwind after an action-packed adventure.
