About
Quick facts: Visitors walk 23 meters above the ground across 28 suspended platforms connected by light steel bridges. A tree over 1000 years old, known as 'Te Matua Ngahere', dominates the forest with its massive canopy.
Highlights: At night, the trails turn into a light spectacle with hundreds of hand-placed lanterns hanging among the branches like fireflies. After dark, the forest becomes a completely different world, and the scent of damp moss and earth almost hypnotizes you as you walk through the canopy.
Insider tips
- Bring comfortable shoes with good soles, as the bridges can be slippery after rain.
- The best photos are taken from platforms facing the sunset, especially during the golden hour.
- If you are in a hurry, skip the audio guide and just enjoy the silence of the forest.
- Arriving right at 9 a.m. will help you avoid the crowds and have almost the entire park to yourself.
