West Coast Treetops
Venture Where the Forest Meets the Sky
From the roots of towering Rimu trees to the skies above the lake, experience the West Coast like never before. Stand out on the cantilever, ascend the magnificent 47-metre tower, and conquer the forest on our high-speed zipline for a true West Coast adventure in Aotearoa.
The South Island’s Must-Stop View
Guided by ki uta ki tai – the Māori understanding that all landscapes flow from snow-capped mountains to glimmering seas – West Coast Treetops invites you to step into the Mahinapua Scenic Reserve, where towering rimu trees rise from the land and kererū birds call through the leafy canopy. Wander forest paths, breathe in the scent of native trees and discover the layered beauty of Aotearoa’s West Coast in every sun-dappled corner.
An Adventure for Every Traveller
West Coast Tree Tops is located just 15 minutes south of Hokitika, making it the perfect spot to pause your journey, stretch your legs and breathe in the wild beauty of the West Coast. Our self-guided experience welcomes all ages, with a wheelchair accessible walkway and gentle 1.2-kilometre loop for families, tour groups and curious explorers. Take your time to enjoy the forest sounds, native birds and scenic views that make every step a memorable adventure.
Enjoy a coffee at our cafe nestled beside beautiful native bush, pick up local West Coast souvenirs and reconnect with New Zealand’s rugged landscape.
Soar Above the Forest With Our Zipline Experience
Experience the thrill of racing side-by-side through the treetops at speeds of up to 65 kilometres an hour on the South Island’s only dual zipline! Unlike typical valley-based rides, this unique West Coast experience centres on the 47-metre Hokitika Tower, providing unrivalled 360-degree views of the Alps and sea before your adventure begins. You’ll race past ancient Rimu crowns and through the lush Mahinapua Scenic Reserve before gliding down to the base.
The zipline experience is designed for adrenaline seekers, families and brave first-timers alike. Backed by Adventure-Mark certification and Worksafe NZ auditing, we ensure a secure and unforgettable adventure for all, with the zipline accommodating weights from 30–120kg.
