Wow what a night to remember. After recent rain our usual nightwalk took us an extra hour to complete. The forest was alive with nocturnal creatures. My clients had weta walking on their skin for the first time in their lives, our forest has nothing to be afraid of, night or day. Conservation in this area of the forest has really brought the forest back to its usual state.

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.
