This week is #ITPAwarenessWeek, where we help raise public awareness for the rare blood autoimmune disease #ImmuneThrombocytopenia or ITP and shine a light on the ITP patient experience 💜
ITP is a rare autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks platelets. Platelets assist the blood to clot, and ITP patients have a low platelet count. ITP impacts approximately 1 in 10,000. It affects children and adults, and there is no cure. No single test is currently available to determine whether a person has ITP, and for most people, there is no known cause.
ITP Australia and New Zealand’s mission is to provide up-to-date information, education, support and advocacy for ITP patients and the ITP community. From Monday the 23rd of September through to Saturday the 28th of September the Horoeka Lantern will be lit purple to show our support for ITP Australia and New Zealand and the ITP community.

Did you know that from our inception we have strived to minimise our environmental footprint? 🌏
This is reflected in the construction techniques used to build the Treewalk - renewable, durable materials such as the macrocarpa timber that our platforms are constructed of and the innovative timber material our David Trubridge night lights are made from ✨

Coolest place ever! We went at dusk so did half of the walk in the day time and the other half in the semi dark when all the night lights were on! Was such a beautiful walk and loved every moment! The staff were super informative and nice. I will definitely be back in the future!

The Redwood Forest is just stunning... The lights are just incredible and it is such a beautiful thing to be walking so high in the trees. We also went back the next day and walked around the forest - still gorgeous. Would definitely recommend.

This is a highlight in Rotorua. Super friendly and helpful staff. Amazing walk high through the trees. Take the high road if you dare! It's worth it.

The Redwoods Altitude tree walk is beyond amazing! It was the highlight of our tiki tour of the North Island, and if you’re a wee bit terrified of heights, it was life changing. We felt so safe while being challenged well beyond our comfort zones. The guides are great, very encouraging.

"perfection" This experience was a true 10/10 for us. The perspective and views it offers of the grove are spectacular and unique. The actual bridge crossings and zip-lining very quickly went from potential impediments to accentuating the experience. Our guides, Jordan and Nicole, were the absolute best. If you were on the fence, go for this one. It's incredibly clear that the altitude team is there to make sure your experience will be like ours -- spectacularly unforgettable.
