Gently sway in harmony with the forest on the Mahinapua Springboard. View the exquisite Lake Mahinapua through the richly diverse forest foliage.

What To Expect

Westcoast Treetop Walk & Tower Zipline

Finding your way here is simple as we are just 15 minutes south of Hokitika as you head to Franz Josef Glacier. Once you are in our car park you will see the Cafe, Gift Shop and Ticketing all located in the building just a short stroll over Johnny's Creek. Once you have your ticket for the Tree Top Walk the team will brief and supply you with a self guiding brochure. There is a 300 meter up hill walk (on site transport is available) and as you progress along you will see the walkway structure and the majestic Lake Mahinapua. Your brochure guide will supply you great detail about the surrounding area, trees and wildlife. Along the entire walk there are a number of interruption panels providing you additional information. To get the full benefit and enjoyment of the walk, after all you are on holiday, the walk will take around 45 minutes, but you can take all day up to closing if you wish. The walk is suitable for all ages and is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.

An absolute must do. Using the walkway at your own pace above the canopy gives you a unique perspective of the forest. Useful pamphlet with information at various stops very useful. Great cafe at the base was excellent.
Zip line was really fun

I had to conquer my fear of heights to do this walk! Very exhilarating once I got the hang of it. Great views across the tree tops. Lots of great information all the way round of the trees and birdlife.
