What you can expect
Glide through the forest on this unique zipline canopy tour and experience Coromandel’s breath-taking native forest from all levels, as you fly above the trees and walk beneath the ferns.
Our knowledgeable guides will lead you on an unforgettable journey, to learn about Driving Creek’s transformation from kauri logging, goldmining and pastural farming, into a lush hand planted native forest, a haven for regenerating kauri trees and kiwi.
Two of our expert guides will greet and outfit you with the safety equipment you will need for the journey. A spectacular 18 minute train ride will take you up New Zealand’s only mountain railway to the start of your Ziplining experience. Your two friendly guides will then lead you along eight ziplines, which span through trees and across gullies and streams, to experience New Zealand’s native trees and birds, including our largest tree species, the Kauri.
Coromandel Zipline Tours is a fully charitable company with all the profits from your tour going towards restoring and preserving New Zealand’s native forests and supporting the New Zealand clay arts.

Angus
Hello, my name is Angus. My background isn't in adventure tourism/rockclimbing. It's in musical theatre if anything (but don't ask me about the time I played the Phantom of the Opera, I hate talking about it).

Ray
Kia ora everyone my name is Ray, I love the outdoors and working in an adventurous environment is my absolute passion so I look forward to sharing it with you!
Summer
Hey my name is Summer, I grew up in Taupo but spend my winters at Mt Ruapehu and summers (Ha) in the tropical Coromandel! You can find me basking on a beach or shredding on the mountain. Yeww!
Hek
Kia ora my name is Hekiera or Hek, Im a bit of a geek I like digital art, web coding and learning new creative skills. Im also a fluent Māori speaker, so if you speak it, korero mai.
Paige
Hey guys! My name is Paige and I’m a bit of an open book (get the joke ha). You can find me surfing at the local beaches, mountain biking out in the , or anywhere else outdoors. I can’t wait to have some laughs on the zipline with you all.
Jesse
Hey guys my name is Jesse. I’m originally from Rotorua and spend my time skiing, mountain biking, surfing and sailing my little yacht t-bear (which I probably spend more time fixing than actually sailing). If I could have any super power, it would be to change into any animal like Maui so I can fly and breathe underwater whenever I wanted.
Jed
Hello all, I am Jed. I am originally from the UK but grew up in Taumarunui so my accent dances around a bit.
My main passions are skiing and playing music. I have played bass in bands around the world and currently play with fellow zipliner and brother Angus. In the winter season I spend time at Mt Ruapehu where I am a liftie and de-icer. I look forward to meeting you on the zipline!

Summer in Coromandel is obviously a whole lot warmer, but the native forest is spectacular in winter! The greens are greener, and the air is so fresh that you will feel more alive. We also give you the warmest and driest outdoor clothing we could find, so you will stay dry and toasty throughout the whole tour. But we do suggest bringing extra layers since you can never be too warm.
New Zealand’s native trees and plants love the rain, and this shows as you can see the forest thrive with a fresh natural watering. We provide the best rainwear, so you can embrace the elements and stay comfortable throughout the whole tour.
We are by no means the first zipline in the world, but we do offer a unique experience. At Coromandel Zipline Tours we use ziplining as a means to travel through the forest canopy where our knowledgeable guides will tell you the story of how this land has been transformed from the effects of kauri logging, gold mining, pastural farming and now into a QEII protected regenerating native forest, home to kauri trees and kiwi. Our forest is human-made with over 27,000 hand planted native trees (9,000 of which are kauri), the inspiration of one man over his lifetime. Seeing the scale of what one person can achieve is truly inspiring.
