Adrenalin Forest is Lower North Island’s only outdoor adventure park conveniently located in Porirua City. Across a three-hour odyssey, you’ll challenge yourself both mentally and physically while soaring among giant pine trees.
It’s the perfect place to test your limits. Walk across a high-wire or suspended boardwalk up to 31m off the ground or take an exhilarating ride on a zipline or swing. Whichever challenge you tackle you can be sure you’ll get your heart racing. And you’ll be in safe hands with Adrenalin Forest’s world-leading equipment and instructors.

Adrenalin Forest aims to create a safe environment where all ages and fitness levels will be able to find their own limits. With more than 100 different activities in the treetops, the whole family will be entertained. The forest has six levels and each trail takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Beginners are best to start at levels 1 and 2 with a range of easier and lower challenges. Levels 3A and 3B are a step up and include the excitement of a wrecking ball, Indiana swing, and zigzag logs. Level 4 is the longest course and will get your heart pumping with a commando flying fox, spinning logs, and snowboarding. At up to 26m high, level 5 is not for the faint-hearted, and includes a challenging Nepalese bridge and thrilling flying foxes. Finally, level 6 is for the true adventure seekers — with a mammoth 30m high rope swing and 100m flying fox!
To take part in the fun you must be at least 1.4 metres tall. You can do as many levels as you can within your allocated three hours (but only each level once).
Bookings are highly recommended.
