Swing bridge is not well maintained. Rusty wire on the bridge is sharp. We had clothing rip during our crossing. We approached a staff member to alert them to the potential danger to children, and were met with an eye roll.

Not worth the visit.
$10 to walk the bridge, jet boat closed, comet line closed, no offer of gold panning, tracks abit unclear at parts. Disappointing

It was great fun, also for kids (aged 5 and 8 years) walking the bridge.
The short walk on the other side was super too. Only minus is the sandflies.

The bridge is nice and it is a good experience but it was too expensive.

The longest hanging bridge in New Zealand.
The bridge crosses a river directly into the rainforest, where visitors can learn about the flora and history of the region on a 20 minute walk. Entrance is approx $10NZD.

Swingbridge was cool, picnic area is dangerous for kids (old vehicle there), very aggressive sandflies, nice lady there.

Fun to do and nice to see.
It is much money and the only thing you can do is walk over the bridge.

We got the promised experience without being distracted by any frills.
The walks were energetic and immersing. Pricing lets you pick and choose your activity. Comet ride was a thrill - I would do it again and again and again.

Lovely walks and picnic area.
Fabulous views from the bridge marred only for us by the pouring rain.

Excellent!
Very nice location. The bridge is swinging above the river. It is funny. The nice walks within the forest to understand plant species is something to do.

Had to do as longest - bit of fun walking across and could see jet boat and zip wire swings so plenty to see around the bridge.
Enjoyed walk and earthquake information, although did look a bit 'tired'. Same for cafe - no staff there so did not use it. Only $5 each though - but only suspension bridge.
