What to expect
Finding your way here is simple as we are just 15 minutes south of Hokitika as you head to Franz Josef Glacier.
Once you are in our car park you will see the Cafe, Gift Shop and Ticketing all located in the building just a short stroll over Johnny's Creek.
Once you have your ticket for the Tree Top Walk the team will provide you a briefing and supply you with your self guiding brochure.
There is a 300 metre up hill walk (on site transport is available if you need assistance) and as you progress along you will see the walkway structure and the majestic Lake Mahinapua.
Your brochure guide will supply you great detail about the surrounding area, trees and wildlife. Along the entire walk there are a number of interruption panels providing you additional information.
To get the full benefit and enjoyment of the walk, after all you are on holiday, the walk will take around 45 minutes, but you can take all day up to closing if you wish.
Once back at the building you can enjoy great coffee, drinks, food and even some gift shopping.
The walk is suitable for all ages and is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.

Amazing structure the walk was incredible but not for anyone who is scared of heights. Service at the Cafe was pretty rubbish. Our coffees and one food item came quickly but they forgot my partners pasties. When we asked for it after 30 minutes the serving girl was super rude and unacceptable attitude, refusing to help. How hard is it to out a pie in a bag so.we could go, we had paid already. Such a hot day. But other than that bad experience the tree top walk was great.This is an outstanding no attraction. It’s definitely well worth the visit. The key is to take your time, and you can go around as many times as you want. The signage is excellent and the kids loved it too. Fabulous and well serviced cafe with lovely staff and excellent service!!! Great p...

Great parking and a beautiful location.Great thing to do while in Hokitika, shame that the lack of maintenance is starting to show after the nine years since last visit.
Great thing to do while in Hokitika, shame that the lack of maintenance is starting to show after the nine years since last visit.This is an impressive construction with plenty of information along the route. I'm not aware of any other experiences like this in NZ and, while a bit pricey and not exactly on the main tourist route, is definitely worth visiting. Great views of the alps on a clear day such as we had.

It was absolutely fabulous for me especially, to be high up in the canopy
