Redwoods Tree Walk
Redwoods Treewalk is Rotorua’s newest Eco-Tourism attraction. Using ecologically friendly engineering, the Treewalk is suspended from 115-year-old majestic redwoods. Featuring a series of suspension bridges and living decks, elevated from 6-metres to 12-metres at its’ highest point. Designed for use without harnesses or protective gear, it is suitable for all ages. The only pre-requisite is that all users must be able to walk the entire 553-metres
The 30-minute walk provides a journey behind the history of the 115-year-old Redwood Forest, the local people (iwi) and the land (whenua) allowing visitors time to appreciate the peaceful and breath-taking surroundings that re-energise and inspire the body and soul.

In addition to the day-time treewalk, on 22 December 2016 Redwoods Nightlights opened at the treewalk. This is a new and unique Kiwi design-led tourism experience found nowhere else in the world and encompasses 30 lanterns designed by the world-acclaimed designer and sustainability champion, David Trubridge.
In addition to the Trubridge lighting, over forty infinite colour spots and feature lights illuminate the 115-year-old redwood trees, forest ferns and pungas. The lanterns are up to 2.5 meters tall and were made at the David Trubridge workshop in Hastings and assembled by a team in the forest by hand, taking care not to damage the forest environment.
