Awesome opportunity to see the forest from a unique perspective. As a tree nerd and lover of all things growing I was in heaven. Informative pamphlets and signage. Not for those that are squeamish about heights! Cafe food was delicious and reasonably priced.
Great experience
I wasn't too sure what to expect. The Canopy walk is very cleverly structured and although I have a fear of heights, I managed it alright. Going to the top of the spiral staircase was scary but worth it when you get to the top.
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
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.
Great being a tourist in our own country ... we had the Westcoast Treetop Walk all to ourselves first thing this morning. Good to see quite a few people arriving as we were on our way out - a great experience... and as Darryl Kerrigan says "So much serenity".
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 !
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.
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Beautiful outlook. Not too hard to achieve. Even climbed the Tower - brave me
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.
Unique experience, especially if you don’t like heights, but don’t let that stop you. Incredible views and gives you a real sense of how beautiful our native bush really is!
Awesome day, highly recommended
This was a perfect wee walk for our family. Being so close to the coastline it offered a different aspect to our weekend break which we thoroughly enjoyed. The 'lookout tower' was awesome ,but very much not for the feint hearted!Recommend this to all travellers visiting this part of the west coast
We were o. The Wilderness cycle ride detoured here…the cafe was great good food great coffee friendly people not overpriced Tree top walk was great
This is a unique experience! Nothing else like this in NZ! We spent an hour or so walking high up in the trees, admiring the views. The metal structure feels very safe. It was also fun to watch others zip-lining! The staff were particularly helpful and friendly.
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
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.
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
Awesome experience and definitely worth while visiting.
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
Fantastic experience. The sound, views and fresh air all make for a brilliant start to the day. Loved it. Staff were very welcoming
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 .
This was great. Loved it.
Wonderful view of the snow-capped mountain and the lake!
Lovely walk with information Boards along the way to explain trees, wildlife etc that you will be viewing at that spot. The walk itself is Easy for little legs. Quite pricey, but nice to do once at least.
Beautiful serene walk We went at 9.30am was lovely & quiet
The tour is just great, what a pity it’s a cloudy day when we were there.
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.
Great views even though my friend refused to look down !!
Fabulous views, great engineering creating this structure, a must do if your travelling the West Coast
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.
Fantastic!! Well worth the admission fee. Went first thing and the weather couldn't have been better. Highly recommend.
