Great afternoon excursion. We both enjoyed the walkway and amazing views. Interesting info along the way and good, home baking in the cafe afterwards.
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.
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
Was pretty cool to be in the tree tops and to look over the lake loved it.
Good!
Great experience
Amazing walk, beautiful scenery with lots of Information
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 views.
Great attraction with awesome views. Make sure to climb the tower as well.
Fabulous experience. Up high in the native treetops, great views, even climbed the high tower!
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.
Fantastic!! Well worth the admission fee. Went first thing and the weather couldn't have been better. Highly recommend.
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.
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.
This was an amazing walk, so pleased we got the opportunity to do it! For me, who doesn't like heights it was a challenge, particularly the tower, but so rewarding. We had perfect weather too, blue sky and calm. I'd recommend this to all
Awesome day, 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
Very good, except for the wind. Lovely view. Nice to see the bird life. Don't forget to get a meal from the cafe. Really nice meal. Thank you so much
I highly recommend the West Coast treetops walk near Hokitika. It’s a good length of time and the views are very magnificent.
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
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!
Very much enjoyed the tree top walk. Amazing to be looking down on the forest, but still felt small amongst it.
Fabulous views, great engineering creating this structure, a must do if your travelling the West Coast
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".
The tour is just great, what a pity it’s a cloudy day when we were there.
Great views even though my friend refused to look down !!
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.
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
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
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Beautiful outlook. Not too hard to achieve. Even climbed the Tower - brave me
Beautiful serene walk We went at 9.30am was lovely & quiet
