BOOK YOUR FOREST FLIGHT

We get it... "Ziplining" might not sound like your idea of a relaxing winter weekend.


But here's what we hear all the time: "I didn't think I could do this... and I absolutely loved it!"

Forest Flight isn't all about adrenaline - it's about slowing down, stepping outside your comfort zone (into nature), and experiencing one of Waiheke's most spectacular landscapes from a completely different perspective.

-> Armchair-comfy harnesses
-> Passionate guides who support you every step of the way
-> Incredible views across the Hauraki Gulf that make you forget you're even on a zipline.

Whether you're 8 or 80, you don't need to be a thrill seeker - just a little curious.

If you've been meaning to visit but haven't made the trip yet, now's the perfect time.

What to expect:

  • Three dual ziplines covering over 900 metres
  • An elevated boardwalk 660-metre long through an ancient kauri forest
  • Stunning panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf
  • Around 2 hours of adventure, suitable for most ages and fitness levels
  • Finish just steps from the Man O' War Tasting Room & Restaurant for a well-earned wine or lunch afterwards.

We promise it will be worth the drive.

Thoroughly recommend this experience. Very professionally run with excellent safety protocols, amazingly beautiful virgin native forest with a beautiful backdrop of the Hauraki Gulf. Stay on for a lunch at the restaurant. Equally amazing.

Risk & Safety

Our Zipline tours are classed as adventure activities and carry a degree of inherent risk; as such you need to be aware we cannot guarantee your safety. As with all adventure activities, there is an element of risk.

Man O’ War Forest Flight is located in an ancient Kauri Forest on a steep hillside above Man O’ War Bay that presents certain hazards including, but not limited to; uneven and steep terrain, exposure to heights, slips, trips, falls and sun exposure. Serious injury or death is a possibility therefore agreeing to participate is your personal decision.

We only use the best technologies and zipline equipment designed by experienced experts to the highest standards. All our zipline harnesses and trolley equipment are carefully checked and rechecked after every use for quality assurance and to make sure all equipment is totally fit for use.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to safety. In fact, it's the number one focus of our team every day to ensure to the best of our ability the safety of our guests.

Our Commitment to Safety

10/10 HIGHLY recommend! I had an amazing tour experience from start to finish! I can’t wait to come back and bring more friends to experience this unique adventure on our next Waiheke trip. Side note: former zipline tour guide and this is one of my absolute fav zipline tours world-wide. From the friendly and knowledgeable staff, to the safety and efficiency, to the epic forest and ocean views themselves - I can’t recommend this enough!
