What's New - Ancient Forest Tours

Many guests have joined us for guided tours this summer, but since the waterlevel in the creeks has been low we have abandoned the canoes and taken to the forest for more energetic adventures on foot.

The Ancient Forest Tour begins along the beach, following the route of early Maori and later explorers along the coast. Turning into the bush we climb steeply to a spectacular ancient rimu and miro forest, stopping to observe and listen to the forest birds. Abundant bell birds send their warning signals ahead of us, but still we manage to watch them with delight. Moving along the forested summit ridge we get to a cliff top viewpoint overlooking the sea, coastline and resting fur seals below us on the beach.
