Redwood Treewalk

The Tree Walk is one of the most incredible activities you can experience in New Zealand. It provides a magical feeling as you stand high up in the canopy of the majestic Redwoods. A sense of complete peace and tranquility washes over you while you are suspended among the trees. The absence of intrusive sounds adds to the wonderful atmosphere. Although we didn’t take part in the nighttime Tree Walk, we felt it might have been a meant-to-be moment. While the lights would have looked fantastic, we would have missed the grandeur of the forest.

After our experience in the canopy, we decided to take a walk among the giants. There are many signed trails in the forest, varying in distance. We chose a shorter path of about 2.9 kilometers. Since we consider ourselves intrepid bush explorers and pay close attention to our directions, we didn't expect to get lost. However, it didn’t take long for us to realize that we had wandered off the chosen track and were somewhat lost. Fortunately, we encountered a lovely family who provided us with directions to get back to our starting point. There was no need for a search party after all! However, we did manage to find some of the most spectacular plants we had ever seen. Such a memorable, peaceful day.
