Lovely reception service! Amazing view from the tower. Nice easy walk which can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Challenges your fear of heights too if you're up for a challenge.
Well worth having a look at. Great way to feel like part of nature but also feel safe and secure on the structure. Beautiful scenery and environment.
Good!
Was pretty cool to be in the tree tops and to look over the lake loved it.
This is an amazing attraction. As New Zealanders I hope this initiative does really well. The location is set in this beautiful bush setting with a great play area for the kids and a great cafe and gift shop. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The treetop walk is a wonderful, I marvel at the construction of this walkway and tower, the views are fantastic and the whole concept is very user friendly. Thankyou and best wishes - Glenys and Joan
Se have recommended it to our friends. We really enjoyed the Tree top walk. It’s great even in drizzle as you are really apart of the forest. The access to the start is quite steep for some people, there is transport available making it very accessible. The railing is at a good height especially for people who are not good with heights and you feel really safe. The information stations are great too.
Great experience
Great attraction with awesome views. Make sure to climb the tower as well.
Great views.
Amazing walk, beautiful scenery with lots of Information
Fabulous experience. Up high in the native treetops, great views, even climbed the high tower!
Great afternoon excursion. We both enjoyed the walkway and amazing views. Interesting info along the way and good, home baking in the cafe afterwards.
I highly recommend the West Coast treetops walk near Hokitika. It’s a good length of time and the views are very magnificent.
Great visit even while raining and as the rain was clearing. The views of the trees and lake were magical and the mist from the rain made you feel like you were in a different place. Highly recommended
The tour is just great, what a pity it’s a cloudy day when we were there.
A great way to kill a few hours if you are heading north or south on the West Coast. You are getting out behind the wheel and recharging your batteries, Then having a nice coffee before heading back on the road I never give anyone 5 stars because if they get to many they may take their eye of the ball and their service may drop
Humans can hardly walk along the tree tops except here 😊 It was pretty cool and unique 🤗 the cafe staff were very friendly.
Great family friendly experience. The hill up wasn't too steep to push the stroller up and it was very easy to walk around on the platforms/bridges.
Second time we’ve visited the tree top walk, such a great place to visit while in Hokitika. Great service and food at the little cafe as well. Absolutely love being up in the canopy of the trees.
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Beautiful outlook. Not too hard to achieve. Even climbed the Tower - brave me
A really great experience. A mean feat of engineering, enabling a chance to see NZ flora and faunat from a different perspective. Self guided map was really great and the views from the "Hokitika Tower" is worth the 107 steps. With a complimentary buggy to drive you up and back to/from the steel platform if needed plus a cafe and gift shop, definitely worth a visit.
Beautiful serene walk We went at 9.30am was lovely & quiet
Very cool experience that I am so glad i took the time to do! Went first thing in the morning and it was so peaceful with just the birds and my friends for company. Amazing views that were up there amongst the best we have seen on the west coast.
A unique and memorable opportunity for gazing at an established forest. Panoramic views, a blend of vibrant greens with excellent information opportunities along the elevated walk makes this a must-do activity in Hokitika.
We were lucky to strike the coast on a beautiful summers day without a drop of rain. The tree top walk was amazing! I enjoyed the little information stops. I'll definitely be back on a rainy day as I can already tell the scenery with be more spectacular then! Such an amazing experience. Loved it.
Loved everything about this treetop walk. Stunning views of the snow capped Southern Alps are an extra bonus! Not a fan of heights usually but I felt safe and even enjoyed the walk up the viewing tower! Not too difficult - the walk up the hill at the start is probably the most taxing part!! Would recommend for all ages
Beautiful views, lots to see. Fantastic construction, we were impressed with this. Great informative map along with stops with placards of information. Lovely cafe along with gift shop.
This is a must do ! The information they give you about the trees and birds is great ! I do believe maybe during summer it’s more fun when the trees are blooming but the experience was great anyway !
It is really a different experience being up high in the canopy. It is well set up. The cafe was jice! Lots of carparking and wondeful entrance. Great views over the lake and we learnt alot about the different plants. Don't rush it! Its to be done leisurely, taking it all in.
A must do on your bucket list. It’s supposed to take 45 min, we took 90 mins. We didn’t want to leave. Slow down take your time, enjoy the sounds and amazing views
Although we arrived early we were allowed to go straight in and enjoy the walk, it was raining so we could not enjoy it to the full , on a good day views would be great .
