• Puketi Nature Trail - Join your knowledgeable local guide on a walk through the Puketi forest. Gain fascinating insights into New Zealand’s subtropical flora and fauna as you walk among towering kauri trees, the world’s second largest tree, found only in the country’s North Island.

On the half and full-day walks, keep an eye out for the rainforest’s rare endemic birds and subtropical plant species. Hear stories from European colonial history, enjoy views including two of the largest kauri in New Zealand.

See conservation at work, and find out how the forest evolved from young, to mature and established trees. Learn some of the trees’ natives names and understand the ecology and mystery behind the kauri tree.

On the exciting two- to three-hour night-time walk, watch as the forest comes alive as daylight turns to evening. Listen as bird calls change from day to night, see bats flying overhead and feeding on insects, and keep a lookout for the rare nocturnal kiwi bird, New Zealand’s national symbol.
