Whakarewarewa Forest (The Redwoods)
Towering Californian redwoods with walking loops and world-class mountain-bike trails for all grades.
Why go
Walk or ride beneath giant redwoods, then float through the canopy on the suspended Treewalk.
Planted over a century ago, the Californian coast redwoods of Whakarewarewa Forest soar in cathedral-like stands just minutes from central Rotorua. Well-graded walking loops radiate from the visitor centre, while the forest floor hosts one of New Zealand's premier mountain-bike networks, with hundreds of kilometres of trail from gentle to expert. The elevated Redwoods Treewalk — a suspended path among the canopy, magical when lit at night — is the signature experience.
