A pleasant out of the way park giving an insight to the flora of the area and that of New Zealands South Island, with some great views. We took our time to enjoy this tree top walk and read the information points set out along the way. Although is was a bit breezy we were lucky with no rain. There is a small 300 metre walk up a hill along a gravel road way prior to entering the tree top walkways. If you are not inclined to walk up the hill they do offer a lift in extended golf carts. Take your time to read the information plaques to appreciate what flora you are looking at, while enjoying the view. The tower gives a greater view of the lake and surrounding area. After enjoying the tree tops we returned to the centre and enjoyed a hot coffee, before leaving. Keep a kean eye out for some of the birdlife around the centre and near the carpark.The treetop walkway is way more impressive than expected and definitely worth a visit. A massive impressive structure high above the canopy gives a totally different view of out beautiful rain forests. Easy walk, great cafe. They have golf buggy to get you up hill to start if needed. Well worth it.

Exceeded our expectations. Picked up from our accommodation on time and met Trev our driver who made the trip memorable with his vast local knowledge. A real West Coast amdasador. Unfortunately raining when we left Greymouth but miraculously cleared when we arrived at the Hokatika Gorge and the treetop walkway. Both venues were amazing in their own ways. Got us back to the Transalpine train on time. This tour was a trip highlight and we loved it.TREE TOP WALKWAY - This is an amazing tree top walk on an excellently built structure and easy to access.

TREE TOP WALKWAY - This is an amazing tree top walk on an excellently built structure and easy to access. Part of the way along the walkway there is also a tower which is about 40 metres above ground level and by climbing up this you get an even greater view of the native forest and you can look out upon Lake Mahinapua. Lots of birds in the trees and back on the ground we saw several Weka's which were amazing to watch. Beautiful countryside and so peaceful.I didn’t do the treetop walk but the Hokitika Gorge was incredible. It was a lovely day and not busy, would definitely recommend this trip.

Wow! Bob picked us up from Hotel Lake Brunner and took us back to Hokitika for the tour. It was just my husband and I on the tour which was kind of neat really. Bob is a fountain of knowledge, telling us about all the different things on the way. Hokitika Gorge is just truly amazing, the water was a milky blue due to all the rain and was just stunning. The walk is easy with beautiful scenery, swing bridges and lush forest. The tree top canopy walk was great. This attraction has been well designed and again is an easy walk. We stopped in Greymouth for lunch on the way back and saw a bit of the town which was great as we had not been there for around 25 years. Thank you Bob for a great day out.
