Cruise Ship Kauri Forestwalkers

Puketi — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 08:29:29 +0000

Adventure Puketi recently hosted walkers from the cruise ship The Amsterdam. Our walking guests were from North America and Europe, the age varied from Fifty to our oldest walker ever Ninety One. After recent rain the smell of the fresh clean forest was over powering, with musty odours to sweet fragrance of the many flowering native trees. The Tui, Grey warbler, King fisher, Tomtits were heard throughout the walk. From small ferns to the Mighty Giant Kauri tree the walkers were in awe with the sizes and the abundant Spring growth. An awesome day for all.

Nocturnal Birds of the Puketi Forest

On dusk the Tui calls echo through the forest, as daylight diminishes the call of Morepork (Ruru) creates an eery feeling as others answer in the distance, later we hear Kiwi, only one maybe his partner is incubating the egg.
