Everything about this adventure was well worth doing - A fantastic activity for all ages. The information and views were excellent. Back at the building, the facilities were also great as were the staff and the food. Recommend that people spend some time there.

An experience at the top of the trees - If you are afraid of heights, your limits will be tested on this trip. Not just being high up. You can also see through what you walk on. But there is a good view and it is worth the trip. There was good information around the trip.

A must do - An absolute must do. Using the walkway at your own pace above the canopy gives you a unique perspective of the forest. Useful pamphlet with information at various stops very useful. Great cafe at the base was excellent.

Treetop walk and zip line - We thoroughly enjoyed the treetop walk and decided to therefore treat ourselves to the zip line experience too. Well worth the trip back up the hill to fly back down again on the zip line

Fun zip line ride - Beautiful sunny day on the coast and the tree top walk and zip line did not disappoint. Informative plaques about the native trees and great views looking down from above. View out over lake Mahinapua. The zip line felt really fast , experienced staff reassuring safety checked. Can recommend this and the cafe is also a great stop for wilderness trail cyclists

Walk among the giants in a temperate rainforest. - Wonderful view of the area. It is a pleasant walk among the trees with 11 viewing stops including a very high platform with almost 360 degree views of the mountains and the sea. It is really helpful to read the pamphlet they give you before the walk. The structured walkways are well designed. One of the best parts of the walk is hearing the birds. The walk took us around thirty minutes. The walk to the entrance of the walk can be a little steep. The staff is lovely. They have a nice cafe and gift shop. I only had a cappuccino and it was good.

Only 1 zipline - Ok so my 12y daughter was very excited anc looking forward to a thrill. ( certainly no height fears for her) we arrived and was told she was 500g too light for the zipline. We decided to flag the zip and just do the tree walk. Which was OK...but somewhat disappointing. I have to say the nz PC safety police gave over speckd and over priced this tree walk. We have had better experiences and lower prices in taupo. Rotorua and over seas... Kind of pleased we skipped the zipp
