Tahuhu Kōrero o te Ngahere Whakarewarewa

Nohoana ki roto I te Whakarewarewa, tētahi ngahere kauheke o ngā momo rāwahi ki Aotearoa whānui, te papa kainga o te TreewalkTM . I te orokohanga o tēnei ngahere i whakatō kia 170 ngā rakau rerekē, ko ngā rakau Redwood I whakatō hei te tau 1901. Mai ērā rakau katoa tokoiti kei te toe – hei tauira, kia ono heketea Redwood Karapōnia kei te toe. I huakina te kāwanatanga I te ngahere ki te marea I ngā tau o te 1970. Mai rāno kua uru mai neke atu I te 600 000 manuhiri ia tau.

Ako te pārongo katoa mō te ngahere ki Konei.

 

Hikoi Teitei Hou

Mai te huakina I te 2015 kua rongonutia te Redwoods TreewalkTM ki te ao whānui hei mahi a rehia ki Rotorua. Kua neke whakamua me te urunga o te Treewalk Tūāpō I te Hakihea o 2016, me te hanga o te hīkoi teitei I te 2017. Mā te hīkoi teitei e homai ki te marea te kowhiringa ki te piki atu ki te taumata o te 20 mita. Ko ngā pourangi kua hanga mai te metara, ano hoki I runga I te pourangi matua o te hikoi teitei he tirohanga paewhiri kōata. Mā ēnei tirohanga hou ka āhei te kite I te papa whenua raro iho I te pourangi.

Hautope nui Redwood

Tū kanohi ki te kanohi me tēnei piriri hitori o te ao tūroa. Neke atu I te 2,000 tau te pakeke me te 3.5 mita te whārahi, he piriri ringi rakau tēnei mai Amerika, e horaina ki Redwoods Treewalk.

Titiro ki te koroheketanga o tēnei rakau me ngā hiranga matawā o te ao turoa kua matohu I runga I tēnei tūporo. Anō hoki ki te oranga tonutanga I ngā taumahatanga o inamata.

Mai te titiro ki te taikākā o tēnei rakau, te uho nō onamata e whakatauira I te māia o tēnei rakau, ka tau mai te māhaki me te haipapa ki te tiakanga o ēnei rakau, ano hoki o te taiao.

Te Tūāpō David Trubridge

Ko ngā ramaroa ātanga rātou ko te tomokanga mō te Treewalk Tūāpō kua hoahoa nā te tohunga kaihoahoa tautaiao a David Trubridge.

He matangareka a David mō te tautaiao me ōna tāraitanga rama kua hanga ki te hikuaua me te ūngeri o te taiao. Ko te tūporo o ngā tāraitanga kua hikuhiku, ano hoki kua hoahoa me te iti o ngā rauemi. Ko te āhua me te tautaiao o te hoahoa kua whakakotahi ki tētahi momo wahanga o te wheako nei. I whiwhi tohu kōura tētahi o ngā ramaroa – a Titi, ki te pō tuku tohu mō te hoahoa whakarewatanga o Aotearoa, ki roto hoki I ngā tino tohu o te pō.
Kia pārekareka tō wheako I te tuatini o ngā rama, te makiu ramaroa ātanga e tūramatia I te ngahere.

Ara Hīkoi I te Ngahere

Kia mauri tau I a koe e tīhohe haere ana ki ngā ara hīkoi taurea ki roto I te ngahere nei.

Mai te 30 miniti ki te kotahi haora, he wheako whakahirahira ngā ara Waitawa rāua ko te uru maumaharatanga Redwood.

Kore utu ngā hīkoi I te papa whenua, engari kia tika to whiti, anō hoki kia tika o hū.

Ngā Roto

Haere mā motokā ki tētahi o ngā roto whakamanea e noho pātata ana. Iti noa iho te tawhiti hāereere kia tae ki ngā roto ataahua o tēnei rohe.

Tata ake ko ngā roto Tikitapu rāua ko Rotokākahi. Ka āhei te hikoi takarore ki Tikitapu kia horopakina ki te ngahau o ngā manu māori. Engari, kua rahuitia a Rotokakahi ki te marea.

Haere tonu kia tae koe ki te roto pīwari a Tarawera. He poti ka heria mai tēnei taha o te roto ki te whanga o Te Rata, te wai mahana ki tātahi o Tarawera. He mōwai rikoriko kia tau ai tō rā whai muri I te otinga o te TreewalkTM

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 ✨
Day time walks in the forest 😍 
Safe to say we’re obsessed with the early morning light we get through the trees ☀️
How good is that afternoon light through the trees, though!! 🤩☀
Happy spring, whānau! ☀️🌸🌱
The forest in the rain is the perfect balance of tranquility and vibrance 🌿

  • 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.
