Product Overview

Experience life with the birds high in the ancient Rimu and Kamahi tree canopy on the West Coast.

Easy access, so all can enjoy, walking atop a steel platform 20 metres high and over 450 metres long.

Thrill-seekers will feel their hearts pump and the adrenalin rush as they climb to the top of the tower 47 metres above the forest floor or gently sway in harmony with the forest on the Mahinapua Springboard.

Look out over Lake Mahinapua to the majestic Southern Alps and Tasman Sea!

Located just 10-minutes south of Hokitika on the West Coast of the South Island.

Company Info

The Treetop Walk opened its doors on 15 December 2012. The West Coast Treetop Walkway site was once part of the farmland that surrounds it. It only took 5 months from excavation to opening to complete. 

The Walkway was made in Australia over one month and then brought over to the West Coast and put in place with cranes, using 13,500 bolts! It took only 6 weeks to put it all together. 

The structure was based on 4 previous structures designed by the same engineer and architect team. 

The other structures include Valley of the Giants, Tahune, Otway Fly and Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk, all located in Australia.

We have a wonderful team of friendly, knowledgeable staff who are happy to help you out. We currently have 5 Full-time staff and 8 Part-time staff as well as our awesome Site Manager Vonnie Cherry.
