Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Full disclosure: I'm a wuss about heights. My partner wanted to do the elevated redwoods walk at Redwoods Altitude. I was VERY brave and said yes. It was pretty busy for 4PM on a spring Saturday.
From a walking point of view, it was physically easy. Just the walk on its own cost $45 per adult and took 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how long you wanted to linger. You need to be able to handle some stairs. But every redwood platform includes seating, so you can rest along the way.
You DEFINITELY feel the elevation - you are UP in the trees. The swing bridges sway and creak. The wind rustles. The tree bark is rough and fragrant. You are indubitably far away from the ground, and how you feel about it is up to you! There's one section where you have the option to go even further up - the staff described it clearly so I was able to opt out. Whew. My partner loved it, though.
Once you get beyond the first two platforms, it's pretty hard to turn back - crowd movement is all going the other way. But each platform is numbered near its bench, so you can tell how far along you are. A nervous little kid - or me - can count the platforms and know how much more there is to go. You can also distract yourself with all the forestry information placards along the way.
Even if you don't love heights you'll make it through with a sense of accomplishment. Reward yourself at the gift shop, and maybe go for a ground walk through the redwood forest afterwards.

Absolutely amazing experience! 2/4 of our group went into it scared of heights (the other two being fearless teenagers, lol) and still absolutely loved it. Tori and Joel were incredible guides, not only bringing the knowledge of the Red Woods and the entertaining banter, but also making all of us feel not only safe but confident in ourselves and our abilities - to the point we all ended up doing the bungee at the end!
Thanks again team and will highly, highly recommend to all.
Chloe, Penny and the fearless teenagers. xx

This was a really fun adventure with a good mix of heart-pounding activities and chill moments. The tour guides, Dani and T, were so lovely and great at calming you down if you felt a little nervous. Felt comfortable and safe the entire time! Would maybe recommend bringing gloves or hand warmers if your hands get easily cold.

My time here was unplanned. We were told if we had time we should do the redwood forest tree walk but after doing some research I found the redwood forest altitude experience. I was able to convince my dad to do the experience with me. Deni and Rachel were our guides and made our experience very adventurous. They had a great sense of adventure and were very knowledgeable about the trees and animals. Deni and Rachel made our time at the Redwood Forest so so much more fun! I highly recommend anyone who wants a fun way of learning about the forest to do the Redwood Altitude experience with these guides.

Had Dani and Joel as our instructors and they were incredible! Awesome bunch of people who made the experience fun and felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend giving it a go, even if you're afraid of heights, you're so well taken care of that you forget to be scared. Plus they bribe you with chocolate half way through.

We did the high altitude tree walk and it was incredible! So much fun and totally exhilarating! Our guides were Kelsey and Elaina and they were so helpful and not only made sure we were safe but we had tons of fun! I would highly recommend this experience if you’re seeking a thrill but being totally safe the whole time!

Such a fun experience! We loved being up in the trees, a much different vantage point than from the ground. We felt safe the entire time, enough to have confidence for the (optional) jump at the end! Tori and Danni were very knowledgeable. They could answer any questions we had about the forest and other New Zealand nature (we came from U.S.). Tori took great photos on my phone for us and Danni impressed us with her acrobatic skills haha. Thank you for a wonderful walk through the trees!

This absolutely exceeded our expectations! Tori and Joel were the best guides. They made us feel safe, they gave a ton of information about the trees, animals, and always had great jokes and stories to keep the entire thing interesting. Traversing the 25+ bridges high within the trees was a unique and beautiful way to travel! My husband and I loved it - plus there are 3 zip lines and a fun surprise at the very end. We ended up booking this last minute and so glad that we did. Thanks again Tori and Joel for making it such a great experience!

Such a beautiful location and it was so much more fun than I anticipated. Tory and Danielle were amazing. Knowledgeable and personable - you felt safe and had fun throughout the whole experience. Shout out to Ian from Australia who was a reluctant participant (booked by his wife) - what a trooper!! He was out of his comfort zone but he pushed through it with encouragement from T & D and his own fortitude. Overall a great experience and so worth the cost.
