Waipoua Forest Trails

Home to New Zealand’s ancient kauri giants, Waipoua Forest features accessible trails suitable for hikers of all levels. The star attraction is the Tāne Mahuta Walk—a short, gentle stroll leading to Tāne Mahuta, the country's largest living kauri tree, estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Additional trails, such as the Te Matua Ngāhere Walk, guide visitors deeper into the serene forest, immersing them in lush greenery, birdlife, and the spiritual atmosphere of these majestic, ancient woodlands.
