This consists of a 3 hour guided walk in pristine prehistoric rainforest jampacked with outstanding Kauri Tree stands and distinctive Northland flora and fauna. Your while your guide shares with you a dramatic local history, extensive forest knowledge, and an obvious passion for the Puketi Forest.
Found in inland Bay of Islands, the Puketi Rainforest is alive with rich flora, fauna and colonial history.
