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.

We had a very passionate guide. Unfortunately , this was our 4th or 5th forest walk. I would enjoyed it more just walking through enjoying peace and quiet. Beautiful setting. Just like the Romans we came, saw, and went. Probably wouldn't need to spend more than 30 to 40 minutes there. Easy walk along path.

The kauri trees were magnificent knowing some of them were over 600 years old. This is certainly what NZ was like thousands of years ago. The boardwalk trails were flat and easy to get around. It does not take a lot of time - less than an hour is fine. Out guide was very good and our tour group learned a lot about the trees and animals. No facilities and limited parking. It does get cool at that altitude and under the trees, so bring a jacket.

A bit of a dirt road to get to the entrance. Limited parking - when we were there a number of coaches arrived and parking space disappeared quickly. There isn't any overflow parking or nearby - if there is nothing there, there's nothing there. Free entry and a well posted walkway around in a loop. Spent about 20 minutes there and that was ample. Majestic trees and forest surrounds make for an enjoyable stop.

The tour group was too big. This meant it was hard for the guide to keep enough of the group within listening distance as she offered information and insights

It did not help that the battery powering her microphone ran out of power

Nevertheless, the short tour was interesting

My dream experience of the old Kauri forest, worth the drive and the spot is right where you park. Would recommend to everyone.

My husband and I went on this short walk and enjoyed it very much. It was a rainy but warm day and the trees in fact provided some protection from the rain. And because it is fully a boardwalk, the walking itself was easy and relatively protected i.e. we weren’t walking through mud or puddles etc. The trees were magnificent and the information boards along the walk were informative and helpful to read. This was a delightful little walk.

In terms of access, we drove there from Kaikohe, eventually along Waiare Rd, the last 14 km (approx) of which was dirt/gravel. Despite the rain, the road was in good condition and we’ll graded – we just slowed as we would ordinarily on a gravel road. After we left this area we then travelled along Pungaere Rd, which was bitumen and meant for easier travelling compared with the journey to get there.

A unique place to see ancient kauri trees. Easy path and boardwalk. Great information panels. Peaceful and majestic giants.

Highly recommend this walk. There are two walks. One is the 10 minute board walk around a number of very large Kauri trees, then you can drive about 1.5kms to the Motor Camp to do a 1 hr loop walk. It actually took us about 40 minutes and we were not hurrying. Again some great Kauri trees. Well worth the effort. There are some stunning views over the surrounding district as you drive there and back due to the elevation of the park.

Wonderful experience amongst the giants. Great for pre school aged children. Walk itself is short, but packs a good punch. Road there looks like it’s going to be tar sealed soon. No steps, suitable for prams.

We were originally planning to visit Tāne Mahuta, but that was a bit too much of a drive from our Paihia accommodation so we opted to visit this forest walk instead. We're glad we did too as we've not seen a kauri forest before and we were impressed by the scale of the trees.
Apart from the 3-4km of gravel road to get there, this is a beautiful spot that's an easy walk in a serene setting. Well worth a visit.
