Here, you will enter immediately adjacent to the road that we travel on, another world that has similarities to Jurassic Park, a rainforest full of many different types of ferns, tall native trees and the sound of native birds chirping away. The experience will be similar to what the Maori who walked this country regularly or the first colonists experienced before much of our majestic forests were cut down to convert into pastoral land. We have a survey at the end of each tour and many customers pick this as their highlight, especially compared to the Redwood Forest that we also stop to experience.
