About
The Stix is Bay of Plenty's premier canopy adventure park, set among native bush on Weld Road near Ngawaro. This is where adrenaline meets nature—a series of elevated rope courses, ziplines, and tree-based challenges that let you move through the forest canopy like a native bird. It's become a standout attraction for anyone seeking outdoor thrills without leaving the region, and the consistently high ratings (4.8/5 stars) reflect both the quality of the course design and the genuine care the team puts into safety and experience.
Visitors should expect a full-body workout, a real test of nerve, and honestly—genuine fun. Most people spend 2–3 hours on-site, working through courses graded by difficulty, so families with teenagers, couples looking for a shared challenge, and solo adventurers all find their level. The atmosphere is encouraging rather than cutthroat; staff are attentive and knowledgeable. Wear closed shoes, bring water, and don't underestimate how much the physical exertion will challenge you. Yes, it's worth the visit—this isn't a five-minute photo stop, it's a proper activity that leaves you buzzing.
If you're exploring Bay of Plenty, The Stix fits naturally into a day that might include nearby beaches or forest walks. It's accessible from Tauranga and makes for a brilliant half-day adventure if you're basing yourself in the region. Spring through autumn offers the best weather, though locals know the park operates year-round. Combine it with a café stop in town or a swim at one of the nearby coastal spots for a full Bay of Plenty day out.
