Dispite the weather well worth it
We loved it! Our first booking had to be cancelled because we were the only bookings that they had, but we didn't mind and decided to do the sunset cruise instead, we were so glad we did as the scenery is stunning and was totally worth the wait. Make sure you dress up warm because it is cold out there even when the sun was out.
It was a last minute booking and we did not expect much. However the whole experience surpassed our expectation. We saw the rare white heron more than 5 times. We had the whole creek to ourselves and it was tranquil. Bird life was abundant and the water was calm. It was an enjoyable experience and we will definitely recommend it to our friends who alos enjoy water activities. Note: This is unguided so you need to be confident rowing (changing directions, going straight and stopping), orienting in wetlands and swim. Gavin came down to check if we could do all that and gave us clear instructions.
I would defenitely recommend this trip! A beautiful, peacefup place to spend your afternoon. The people are really nice :)
Such a peaceful and enjoyable tour of the waterway up to Lake Mahinapua. Gavin was fun and so knowledgeable about local wildlife and the area. Lots of stories and laughs. A great way to see another aspect of this very different region. We did the sunset tour but sure it would be good at any time just for the access and stories.
We were very nicely welcome by Gavin and Max. The ride was great in this superb scenery even with our 2 young kids.
Unsere erste Kayak Erfahrung und es war Top! Sehr freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Wir waren allein auf dem Fluss und die Stimmung war genial!
I enjoyed a wonderful afteroon on this boat tour. The landscape was breathtaking (especially in the weather). It was unique to other tours have done in the past. It might not be, the longes trip you take, but its just right. Experience some rain forest by boat and hear some of the local storys about the area.
I tried kayak first time. First it's quite hard to ride But if you can get to use it it's really nice I would like to do again
We were lucky to have a Keefe t day weather wise but even in less than the ideal day it would still be a great thing to do. Once we stopped zig-zagging the river it was awesome. Stable kayaks so always felt safe with my 12 year old. Beautiful and peaceful! Lovely owners! Highly recommend!
A welcome addition to interesting and enjoyable things to do on the West Coast. Terrain like this is not that common in NZ so being able to get up close to it in a boat is great. Birdwatchers especially will gain from it. A highly recommended alternative to charging around in a jet boat (although that's fun too).
Wonderful staff, amazing facility in the heart of Hokitika. Excellent value for money, our family loved it.
Great flight with Ben, flying over the mountains. He's warm and personable, has been flying with his dad since a kid, and knows the mountains like the back of his hand. The view of the mountains from the sky cannot be compared with anything else. It's gobsmacking! So glad we did this!
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.
Great afternoon excursion. We both enjoyed the walkway and amazing views. Interesting info along the way and good, home baking in the cafe afterwards.
Great attraction with awesome views. Make sure to climb the tower as well.
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
Great experience
Amazing walk, beautiful scenery with lots of Information
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.
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.
Fabulous experience. Up high in the native treetops, great views, even climbed the high tower!
Was pretty cool to be in the tree tops and to look over the lake loved it.
Good!
Very much enjoyed the tree top walk. Amazing to be looking down on the forest, but still felt small amongst it.
it was absolutely amazing from the staff in the Cafe to the views from the top of the tower, a must on anyone's bucket list excellent value for money and definitely recommend anyone passing through do this . Would definitely do it again should we come back through the coast 💜💜💜💜
Awesome experience! Definitely a bit of a thrill looking down though, the walk way feels very sturdy and such a different view looking down on big trees
The day we had booked was very wet with low cloud. We turned up and asked if we could reschedule for the following day as the weather forecast was better. The team were lovely and were able to accomodate a swap for us. So glad we did as the next day was a beautiful clear day. A nice easy stroll to get up to the start. There is also a buggy that will take you up if walking is difficult. Very peaceful and the views out over the lake superb. Well worth the trip out and the coffee was good too. A lovely day out was had by all.
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
