Zipping into adventure and ecology - Seven out of the 8 of us were on an Overseas Adventure Tours trip and this was an optional activity. Our two guides were both experienced and enjoyable, making everyone feel at ease and everything so easy. Good safety instructions and an introduction to the problems of non-native predators made this journey so much more than just a zipline ride. The ecological aspects of this forest as explained to us by our guides added a whole new dimension to this activity.

Best experience ever! - Excellent company, organized with real attention to safety. Lisa and Mitch gave us a detailed description of what we would see and do and a great safety briefing. Made an effort to get get to know us and address any concerns or questions. Were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Felt confident and safe. Did some forest walks and learned about invasive species. This company is very environmentally conscious. Highly recommend.

A beautiful forest for a nervous zip liner! - Beautiful forest and it was fabulous to be up in the canopy learning about how the forest is being protected. I am not great with highs and knew I might be nervous! It is true to say that first zip line did make me scream, swear, shed some tears and have bad shaking disco legs once safely on the platform but Vincent and Reuben were such calm and kind guides that they made be feel secure and safe. By half way through I was silently enjoying the views although at the platforms when I tried to drink a cup of water my hands were shaking so much the water was all splashing out the top! By the last zip wire I felt calm, in control and loved seeing the forest around me. So I would say even if you have terror in your heart- be prepared to wobble but it’s an amazing experience! Thanks to the fab guides and also to the lovely group I did the tour with

An Amazing Experience - Highly Recommended - It was an absolutely amazing experience, great guides who were very informative, encouraging, humourous & their hospitality on point throughout our experience. I felt safe but also scared, nervous, terrified & still enjoyed every part of the experience. My highlight was how Original Canopy Tours uses the money from their tours to look after the bush by providing pest control. Thank you so much & highly recommend Original Canopy Tours experience..

Experience of a Lifetime - I was touched by the prehistoric forest, it was emotional for me from the moment I entered it. Mitch and Andrew were amazing tour guides, along with Tara. Mitch taught me so much about the conservation efforts, and the whole thing brought me to tears. it is important work and my experience was indeed transformative and genuinely life changing. thank you all for this experience. ❤️
