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.

- Lisa P126 contributionsIt was fun to be able to walk from our holiday park to this little dell and see the glow worms after dark for free in Hokitika.Written 16 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ChristchurchJulesChristchurch106 contributionsThe 4/5 is actually a reflection on me and not the setup. I am scared of heights and found it very challenging. I was so focused on putting 1 foot in front of the other and holding on that I didn't appreciate the beauty of the setting. My husband stopped at each info point to read the fact sheet, but I just had to keep going. Once I got to the last section, I managed to relax and even walk back a bit to try and challenge myself more.
I didn't go up the tower nor out onto the cantilever part, but my husband did. He loved it all.
I had wrongly assumed that I would be amongst the trees, but most of it was quite open, and I just looked straight ahead or up. It's great that I could walk holding onto the sides, and the structure does feel very safe.
The café, toilets, and shop are great and I just wish I wasn't so pathetic because obviously heaps of effort has been put into making this a top quality attraction.Written 21 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo HWellington, New Zealand3 contributionsI felt called to do this tour and am immensely grateful I did. If you want more than a greenstone souvenir (which may or may not be pounamu from NZ), and you are open to learning about pounamu (and more) in a personalised way from an authentic guide/ kaitiaki, then this is the tour to do. I learnt about pounamu as the stone of the gods, the stories explaining different types of pounamu, how it heals, how to find it in the Arahura (the river constantly brings forth fresh stones to be found, especially after floods), and how to craft into a beautiful necklace. I can now pass onto my children along with the stories for them to add their own layers of meaning for their descendents. Tangi also shared rich personal perspectives from his lived experience, relationships & Kati Wae Wae hapu (the owners and custodians of the Arahura).Written 11 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
