Rotoiti Lodge – Activities Available for Hire

Dangle Duo Climb the ‘ladder’ to the top of the poles. This is done in pairs that are harnessed and belayed by other members of the team. An excellent exercise for the development of cooperation and trust between participants.

Pamper Pole Climb the 5m high pole, stand on the top and jump for the trapeze. Each person is fully harnessed and belayed by the rest of the team. Fosters confidence in individuals and is a lot of fun. Enjoy a great view from the top of the pole.

Flying Kiwi Comprises of two poles with a wire suspended between the two and a pulley attached to the middle. One person roped and harnessed running into the forest is hoisted by the rest of the team to the top of the wire. A great adrenalin buzz, heaps of fun and fantastic views of the Lake from the top.

Low Ropes Course With the assistance of two supporters, walk along wires and a swinging log and beam. Test your balance and co-ordination while trying not to fall off!
