Redwoods Treewalk® - Four unforgettable ways to experience Rotorua’s iconic Redwoods. -
Redwoods Altitude + Glowworms
Take your Redwoods experience to the next level
Looking for something a little more exhilarating?
Redwoods Altitude is Rotorua’s two-hour guided treetop adventure. More than a zipline tour, Altitude takes you 25 metres above the forest floor on a 650-metre suspended course through Rotorua’s iconic Redwoods. Take on 25 jungle-themed bridges, soar across three ziplines, enjoy spectacular forest views and finish with an optional treetop leap — all while securely connected to a continuous belay system and guided every step of the way. Along the way, your guides will share local stories and insights about the Redwoods Forest.
Your Altitude ticket also includes our 15-minute guided Redwoods Glowworms tour, set inside a purpose-built eco-cave just moments from the Altitude base.
Altitude is a separate guided experience from the self-guided Redwoods Treewalk™. For the full Redwoods experience, choose the Adventure Combo and enjoy Treewalk Day, Nightlights, Glowworms and Altitude, all available from one spectacular forest location.

Safety
Safety is our number one priority at Redwoods Altitude. Every element of the operation has been planned and executed to ensure the safety, comfort and confidence of our guests.
This includes the inspection and selection of trees, engineering and construction, guide training, operational procedures and the safety systems used throughout the experience.
Redwoods Altitude uses a continuous belay system, meaning guests remain securely connected throughout the course without needing to clip and unclip themselves between elements. Combined with our professional guides and full safety briefing, this system helps guests focus on the views, the challenge and the fun.
Redwoods Altitude is certified under the New Zealand Adventure Activity Regulations 2016. In addition, we engage High Wire technical experts annually to review our operation.
Equipment
Redwoods Altitude provides all safety equipment required for your tour. Personal safety equipment, including harnesses and carabiners, is not permitted.
Guests are required to bring:
- Appropriate clothing: waterproof jacket for rainy days, warm layers for cooler winter days, and light layers for hot summer days.
- Closed-toe footwear: sandals, jandals/flip-flops and open-toe shoes are not permitted.
A limited number of rain jackets are available onsite, subject to availability.
Lockers are available for personal items while you are on tour.
Weather and Natural Hazards
We actively monitor official information sources to stay up to date with natural hazards that could pose a risk to our staff or guests. These may include, but are not limited to, rain, high winds, lightning, fire, seismic activity and volcanic activity.
In most cases, tours will be cancelled or postponed well before any hazard reaches a dangerous level. If this happens, guests will be offered the opportunity to rebook or receive a full refund.
In the event of an unexpected hazard that cannot be forecast, we have thorough emergency plans in place, developed with technical experts.
Wind and rain do not typically trigger the postponement or cancellation of a tour unless they reach unsafe levels.
