Eco Tours, Guided Forest Walks in the Puketi Forest

Walk through the heart of the Puketi Forest and experience one of New Zealand’s subtropical rainforests.

See great views of New Zealand’s Bay of Islands and surrounding farmland.

New Zealand Forest Puketi Nature Trail and Manginangina Kauri Reserve walks.

See how the New Zealand forest evolved from young trees to a mature and established forest.

On twilight listen to the bird song changed from day calls to night calls. Watch bats flying overhead feed on insects.

On night fall observe the nocturnal wildlife of the New Zealand forest habitat…a kiwi if you are lucky.

The Nature trail is an easy wander around a loop track beginning at the Puketi forest recreation area. It leads you through a beautiful Kauri forest, it provides a great experience for those wanting to learn more about New Zealand native plants and hear the history of the Puketi and the surrounding areas.

We are proud to bring into our tours “the Omahutua Sanctuary night tour”.

This is for guests with limited mobility— we now offer this 3 hour “drive-walk’ excursion which will take us on a magical experience into the subtropical rain forest on dusk with easier and flatter access, great for older or limited mobility guests.

We can host and guide an exciting unique option for the bigger groups from morning and afternoon tea through to themed dinners and gourmet lunches.
