Redwoods Treewalk

Here's How You Can Walk Among Redwoods in New Zealand

"A lantern-lit treetop journey transforms a towering redwood forest in Rotorua, New Zealand, into a dreamlike walk after dark, with hand-crafted lanterns casting a soft, fairy-village glow as 28 suspension bridges and 27 platforms wind up to 65 feet above the forest floor across an almost half-mile route among trees more than 120 years old. Open year-round and especially enchanting at night when the Nightlights experience begins 20 minutes after sunset, it blends nature, art, and light in one of the country’s most scenic geothermal regions. General admission is $42 for adults for either day or Nightlights, or $69 for a day-and-night combo, with tickets valid for 365 days; during peak periods like summer, public and school holidays, and weekends, paying extra for a Fast Pass is recommended so you can book a specific date and time. Suitable for anyone who can walk unaided with a reasonable level of fitness, the route invites pauses on its platforms to look up or down and savor the feeling of walking among the trees, and children under 5 are free." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
