You step out of the van and the forest swallows the sound of Rotorua's streets: only the creak of ancient trunks and the distant call of native birds. Guides — bright, energetic and stripped of ceremony — fit you into a harness, check your helmet, and point to the first platform half-hidden in fern and volcanic rock. Within minutes you are launched: six different ziplines, a suspended swing bridge, a floating staircase and a cliff walk suspended 50 meters above a green valley.
