You step onto the spiral tower and the rainforest exhales beneath you — a world of rimu crowns and dripping fronds that seems to hold its breath as the guide clips you in. At 45 m above the forest floor the wind feels purposeful, pushing you forward as you and a friend step off for a tandem zip that threads 425 m through native canopy at speeds up to 60 km/h.
