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 🌿
How good have these winter mornings been? We LOVE the morning light we get at Treewalk 😍🌿

Did you know that sustainability and protection is at the core of what we do at Redwoods Treewalk? 

The walkway has been carefully constructed through a series of slings to avoid damaging the Redwood trees or the existing natural environment 🌲

From the sustainable sourcing of materials, our waste and recycling policies, and our replanting programmes, we do our best to ensure that the forest will be able to be enjoyed for generations to come 🌏
Did you know that these lanterns, designed by the talented David Trubridge, are inspired by New Zealand's native birds? The Ruru (NZ Owl), Karearea (NZ Falcon), and Miromiro (Tomtit)🌿✨

  • 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.
