Overview
Whakarewarewa Forest, known as the Redwoods, features towering Californian redwoods planted in 1901 - one of Rotorua's signature natural attractions. The Treewalk strings 23 suspension bridges and 28 platforms 12 m above the forest floor, letting you stroll through the canopy. At night, the Nightlights Treewalk illuminates the trees with lantern-lit walkways for a magical forest experience. Ground-level walking trails and mountain-bike routes are also popular.
Opening Hours
Treewalk: daily 09:00-22:00 (Nightlights after sunset)
Travel Tips
The Nightlights Treewalk after sunset feels completely different from the daytime version - don't miss it. By day, free trails let you wander among the giant redwoods at no cost.
