Whether it’s school holidays or just an ordinary weekend, it can be challenging to find activities that the entire family can enjoy together. However, next time you are at a loose end and want to bring relatives (both old and young) together, you should consider visiting the beautiful Hokitika tree walk.
Perfect for Kids
Our Treetop Walk is undoubtedly one of the best things to do in the South Island with kids. The walk is around 45 minutes to an hour long, so it’s perfect for little legs. There’s also an amazing viewpoint, which overlooks the rainforests, and kids will love climbing up the steel spiral staircase.
The walkways are all pram and wheelchair-friendly, and we even have a golf cart for those with mobility issues.
Additional Activities for Adrenaline-Loving Adults
If you have any adrenaline junkies in the family, they could go for an exhilarating ride down the 425-metre zipline. Flying through the treetops is sure to provide them with the excitement they are looking for.
Strengthen Family Bonds
Spending time in nature is the perfect way to relax, chat, and catch up. This is the perfect opportunity to strengthen your family bonds and create unforgettable memories that will be treasured for many years to come.
Get Beautiful Family Photos
When last did you take photos with the entire family together? The Treetop Walk, with its ancient trees and gorgeous scenery, provides the perfect backdrop for your brand-new family pics.
Stop for Lunch at Our Cafe
Once you have built up an appetite from exploring the Hokitika tree walk, you can replenish yourselves with a delicious lunch at our onsite cafe. The cafe is located next to Johnnies Creek, which provides the calm sounds of running water as well as beautiful views.
Here at West Coast Treetop Walk and Zipline, we’d love for you and your family to experience the beauty of our ancient rainforest. Everyone is welcome, and we are sure that you’ll have an unforgettable time as you explore our Hokitika tree walk.
