Looking Down onto the Tree ferns

After a night at Franz Josef were it rained all night we made our way to Hokitika were we stayed a night before heading back home to Christchurch.

While at Hokitika we went on the treetops walk. It wasn't raining when we arrived but as soon as we got onto the walk it started to rain and only stopped when we had finished our walk.

It was really interesting and and on a fine day you would have seen so much from the tower. They call it an exhilarating treetop adventure among temperate rainforest giants. Experience life with birds high in the ancient Rimu and Kamahi tree canopy. Easy access for all to enjoy along a steel platform 20m high and 450m long and a spiral tower 45m high.

Gently sway in harmony with the forest on the Mahinapua spring board. View the exquisite Lake Mahinupua through the diverse forest foliage. A great experience in the rain with the umbrella hire and ponchos for sale for wet weather protection.

Thrill seekers will feel the hearts pump and the adrenalin rush as they climb to the top of the Hokitika Tower 40 metres above the forest floor. Be inspired by a sensational vista of the majestic snow capped souther Alps, Lake Mahinupua and the Tasman sea.
