Lovely reception service! Amazing view from the tower. Nice easy walk which can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Challenges your fear of heights too if you're up for a challenge.
Good!
Well worth having a look at. Great way to feel like part of nature but also feel safe and secure on the structure. Beautiful scenery and environment.
I hate heights but this was the touristy thing I wanted to do on our West Coast Adventure. Grey day, rain off and on but so beautiful, the lake and the birds. I made it up the Tower of Terror and to the end of the cantilever and back to the bottom in time to see people coming down the zip line without screaming, what is wrong with them? Never have to do it again but fully recommend!
We were o. The Wilderness cycle ride detoured here…the cafe was great good food great coffee friendly people not overpriced Tree top walk was great
Loved everything about this treetop walk. Stunning views of the snow capped Southern Alps are an extra bonus! Not a fan of heights usually but I felt safe and even enjoyed the walk up the viewing tower! Not too difficult - the walk up the hill at the start is probably the most taxing part!! Would recommend for all ages
A great way to kill a few hours if you are heading north or south on the West Coast. You are getting out behind the wheel and recharging your batteries, Then having a nice coffee before heading back on the road I never give anyone 5 stars because if they get to many they may take their eye of the ball and their service may drop
Second time we’ve visited the tree top walk, such a great place to visit while in Hokitika. Great service and food at the little cafe as well. Absolutely love being up in the canopy of the trees.
Great family friendly experience. The hill up wasn't too steep to push the stroller up and it was very easy to walk around on the platforms/bridges.
This was an amazing walk, so pleased we got the opportunity to do it! For me, who doesn't like heights it was a challenge, particularly the tower, but so rewarding. We had perfect weather too, blue sky and calm. I'd recommend this to all
Fantastic experience. The sound, views and fresh air all make for a brilliant start to the day. Loved it. Staff were very welcoming
A really great experience. A mean feat of engineering, enabling a chance to see NZ flora and faunat from a different perspective. Self guided map was really great and the views from the "Hokitika Tower" is worth the 107 steps. With a complimentary buggy to drive you up and back to/from the steel platform if needed plus a cafe and gift shop, definitely worth a visit.
Humans can hardly walk along the tree tops except here 😊 It was pretty cool and unique 🤗 the cafe staff were very friendly.
Awesome experience! Definitely a bit of a thrill looking down though, the walk way feels very sturdy and such a different view looking down on big trees
The day we had booked was very wet with low cloud. We turned up and asked if we could reschedule for the following day as the weather forecast was better. The team were lovely and were able to accomodate a swap for us. So glad we did as the next day was a beautiful clear day. A nice easy stroll to get up to the start. There is also a buggy that will take you up if walking is difficult. Very peaceful and the views out over the lake superb. Well worth the trip out and the coffee was good too. A lovely day out was had by all.
Very cool experience that I am so glad i took the time to do! Went first thing in the morning and it was so peaceful with just the birds and my friends for company. Amazing views that were up there amongst the best we have seen on the west coast.
Although we arrived early we were allowed to go straight in and enjoy the walk, it was raining so we could not enjoy it to the full , on a good day views would be great .
Very much enjoyed the tree top walk. Amazing to be looking down on the forest, but still felt small amongst it.
Wonderful view of the snow-capped mountain and the lake!
Fabulous views, great engineering creating this structure, a must do if your travelling the West Coast
it was absolutely amazing from the staff in the Cafe to the views from the top of the tower, a must on anyone's bucket list excellent value for money and definitely recommend anyone passing through do this . Would definitely do it again should we come back through the coast 💜💜💜💜
Awesome experience and definitely worth while visiting.
Great experience
Unique experience, especially if you don’t like heights, but don’t let that stop you. Incredible views and gives you a real sense of how beautiful our native bush really is!
It is really a different experience being up high in the canopy. It is well set up. The cafe was jice! Lots of carparking and wondeful entrance. Great views over the lake and we learnt alot about the different plants. Don't rush it! Its to be done leisurely, taking it all in.
Great being a tourist in our own country ... we had the Westcoast Treetop Walk all to ourselves first thing this morning. Good to see quite a few people arriving as we were on our way out - a great experience... and as Darryl Kerrigan says "So much serenity".
This is a must do ! The information they give you about the trees and birds is great ! I do believe maybe during summer it’s more fun when the trees are blooming but the experience was great anyway !
Very good, except for the wind. Lovely view. Nice to see the bird life. Don't forget to get a meal from the cafe. Really nice meal. Thank you so much
A unique and memorable opportunity for gazing at an established forest. Panoramic views, a blend of vibrant greens with excellent information opportunities along the elevated walk makes this a must-do activity in Hokitika.
This was a perfect wee walk for our family. Being so close to the coastline it offered a different aspect to our weekend break which we thoroughly enjoyed. The 'lookout tower' was awesome ,but very much not for the feint hearted!Recommend this to all travellers visiting this part of the west coast
