WELCOME TO THE ROTORUA EDUCATION NETWORK:

Rotorua is a destination of great interest to students and teachers – from primary school level through to those in tertiary education. This is because Rotorua offers so much to learn about, especially those studying geography and tourism. Rotorua has a unique geothermal environment, a long history of tourism and is home to Māori culture in New Zealand.

Discover how you can access relevant curriculum-linked activities and resources for your students!

Rotorua Visitor Centre & isite is the official home to many of the most exciting and innovative tourism attractions in the country. This innovation is reflected in this first-of-a-kind commitment to education by tourist operators in the area, who plan to fulfil the needs of teachers and students by providing access to relevant resources and information for students at all levels.

Please contact us at info@treewalk.co.nz (office hours 9 AM – 4 PM) or contact Rotorua Education Network for further info.

Redwoods Altitude Disclosure of Risk

With every adventure activity there is always an element of personal responsibility and a level of risk. Accordingly, it is imperative that you read, understand and acknowledge the following Terms and Conditions before participating in this activity:

At Redwoods Altitude we comply with and adhere to NZ Law and a comprehensive safety management plan for our activities, where the priority is to take all practical steps to provide you with the safest and highest quality experience possible.

However, in the environment we operate in and by the nature of the tour we provide, we cannot with absolutely certainty guarantee your personal safety or the safety of your personal property whilst on tour.

The activities offered by Redwoods Altitude, include but are not limited to, navigating suspended walkways, bridges, ziplines and belays and inherently involve risks and potential hazards.

The hazards and risks you may be exposed to include but are not limited to uneven terrain, moving bridges and platforms, trips and slips, falls from height, vertigo, suspension trauma, equipment failure and injury, ranging from minor to serious, or death.

The activity may be both mentally and physically challenging and operates at a height up to 30 meters off the ground.

We will take all practical precautions to provide the safest experience possible. However, by agreeing to participate in this activity, you are acknowledging that 100% of the risk cannot be eliminated and your safety cannot be guaranteed.

Unfortunately, the Treewalk is not wheelchair accessible due to the narrow bridges and steps on and off the platforms. However, any persons in a wheelchair are welcome to access the 50 metre starting spiral ramp free of charge.

Yes, babies and young children can do Treewalk. However, children cannot be carried in front or back carriers, or pushed in personal prams as this presents a health and safety issue and is our policy.

We do have a handful of custom built strollers on site and these are available on a first come, first serve basis as part of your Treewalk Admission.

If you require a stroller, please be aware that this might slow down your entry onto the walk as we have a limited number available.

Please be assured the strollers are being thoroughly cleaned between use.

Unfortunately, dogs (or any companion animal) are not allowed on Treewalk or Altitude as there are many moving parts, which pose a risk to the dog’s paws. Also, not everyone is a dog person, so we need to respect the comfort of other guests too. However, the forest is dog-friendly (dogs must be on leashes in most areas), but there is also a dog park opposite the Treewalk where you can run dogs off-leash.

Registered service dogs are allowed on the walk, but please be aware of the risk to their paws. If the dog has booties, we suggest they are worn on the walk.

Advance notice of your intention to visit is appreciated, please contact us at info@treewalk.co.nz (daily office hours are 9 AM – 4 PM) or +64 (0) 27 536 1010.

We recommend the following –

For the Treewalk make sure you’re wearing a flat soled shoe (jandals/sandals are fine, but bare feet are not allowed) and bring an extra layer as the forest is cooler than the city centre.

For Altitude, wear a good pair of sturdy, flat soled shoes and bring an extra layer of clothing. Gloves for Altitude might also be a good idea as you will be handling metal karabiners.

Due to the walks being elevated, skirts (long or short) and short shorts are not recommended for either activity.

We sure do! Gift vouchers can be purchased online in a variety of denominations and are issued as e-tickets to either the purchaser or directly to the recipient. From the purchase date, vouchers are valid for up to 12-months. Please note that gift vouchers are only available for purchase online through our website and are not available for purchase at the i-SITE’s.
