Redwood Forest

Step into a prehistoric wonderland with Great North Tours at the Whakarewarewa Forest, home to the majestic Redwoods of Rotorua. Walk among towering Californian giants and native silver ferns on a variety of trails, from the family-friendly Waitawa Walk to more challenging tracks that offer sweeping views over Lake Rotorua and the geothermal valley. For a truly magical perspective, ascend to the Redwoods Treewalk, a series of suspension bridges and platforms high above the forest floor, or visit at night to see the canopy illuminated by the enchanting lantern sculptures of designer David Trubridge. Whether you are mountain biking through world-class purpose-built trails or enjoying a tranquil stroll through the scented forest air, the Redwoods offer a serene yet awe-inspiring escape into one of New Zealand's most beloved natural treasures.
