Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime at the West Coast Tower Zipline! This thrilling attraction is perfect for people of all ages, from 6 to 106 years old. 

Your two-hour experience starts at the West Coast Tree Top Visitor Centre, where you’ll meet your highly trained guide and get geared up for the journey ahead.

Begin your journey by exploring the treetop structure of the Rimu rainforest with your guide.
You’ll learn about this magnificent ecosystem’s unique flora and fauna and get up close and personal with the ancient Rimu and Kamahi trees.

As you walk along the 20-metre-high steel platform over 450 meters long, take in the breathtaking views and enjoy the tranquillity of the forest.

But the real thrill begins when you reach the top of the spiral tower. Climb the 106 steps to the top and be prepared to have your breath taken away as you and a friend soar through the treetops at speeds exceeding 60 km/hr for 425 meters.

The 45-meter height, or 15 storeys above the ground, and 40-second ride time will take your breath away. Once you’ve landed back on solid ground, take some time to relax and refuel at the Treetops Walkway Mahinupua Cafe.

Enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of the licensed cafe and take in the stunning views of Johnnies Creek. Browse the visitor information centre and pick up a souvenir from the gift shop with something for everyone.

The West Coast Tree Top Walk and Tower Zipline is an exciting, educational, and unforgettable experience for any traveller. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or simply looking for a unique way to experience the beauty of New Zealand’s West Coast.
