If you’re anywhere near Rotorua, the Redwoods Treewalk is something you really shouldn’t miss. It’s this series of swing bridges and platforms that wind through a grove of massive redwood trees towering above you.

The whole walk is suspended up in the canopy, and it feels like you’re floating through the forest. It’s peaceful, it smells amazing, and it’s just a cool way to be out in nature without needing to hike for hours. It’s also stroller-friendly and easy to access, so it works for pretty much anyone.

The daytime walk is mellow and beautiful. You get these awesome views of the trees, ferns, and forest floor below, and there are little signs that tell you about the history of the forest and the connection to Māori culture.

The real magic happens at night. They light everything up with these glowing lanterns, and it’s like walking through a forest dream. The lights are soft and kind of magical, and the trees look totally different after dark. It’s quiet, surreal, and super peaceful.
