Ziplining and high ropes in Auckland, from the forest to Waiheke

Auckland has treetop courses in Woodhill Forest and flying foxes on Waiheke Island, all within reach of the city. Woodhill is a 35 minute drive from the CBD, and Waiheke is a scenic 35 minute ferry ride. Here's how to choose.

High ropes courses at Woodhill Forest

Tree Adventures runs five high ropes courses at Woodhill Forest, and every one ends with a flying fox. Choose by height and confidence. The Tree Hugging course is a one hour beginner option with suspended tunnels, Japanese steps and a giant net, open to ages five and up. The Monkey'n Around course adds loose boards, swinging platforms and the tree trolley at three to seven metres, for ages seven and up.

For more challenge, the Branching Out course has tightropes, hanging logs and Tarzan swings, and the High Flyer course adds platform leaps and a trapeze. At the top end, Tarzan's Test runs at six to 15 metres and needs a high level of fitness. Allow three hours for the longer courses, including 30 minutes for check in.

Ziplining on Waiheke Island

The flying fox zipline and forest walk has three 200 metre dual ziplines over native bush, so you can fly side by side with a partner, then walk back through the forest with a guide. All on-island transfers are included, with a pick up from Matiatia Wharf. It's suitable for ages 8 to 88, with weight limits of 30kg to 125kg. See more on Waiheke Island.
