Planning an outing for a large group requires a near-perfect balance of safety and excitement. This post explores why West Coast Tree Tops is the premier destination for:
- Team Building – How a NZ corporate adventure shifts perspectives and refreshes company culture.
- School Trips – Why Hokitika is the ultimate living classroom for students.
- Accessible Adventures – What makes West Coast Tree Tops inclusive for all ages and fitness levels.
Finding the perfect destination for group activities on the West Coast in NZ can be a challenge, but we offer an experience that rises above the rest – literally!
We’re located deep within the ancient Rimu rainforest canopy near Hokitika, the breathtaking backdrop for our walkway, where teams and students come together.
If you want to build your team’s work-together skills or take your students out for an educational adventure they won’t soon forget, our steel-structured skywalk is completely safe and utterly exciting.
Corporate Bonding Above the Forest Floor
Swap the boardroom for a bird’s-eye view at West Coast Tree Tops, where NZ corporate adventures are designed to refresh the mind and strengthen professional bonds through means of building a sense of respect for one another on a personal level.
Walking 20 metres above the ground forces a shift in perspective, encouraging colleagues to step out of their comfort zones in a low-stress environment. It’s the ideal spot for team-building sessions where the goal is inspiration rather than just perspiration.
After your walk, your team can enjoy refreshments amongst the indescribable scenery – a setting those same four office walls can’t touch.
Nature’s Living Classroom in Hokitika
We specialise in school trips in Hokitika that align with your curriculum goals and keep your students engaged. Our walkway is built on a bed of raw biology, where geography comes to life. Here, your students can observe:
- The complex ecosystem of the temperate rainforest canopy.
- Native bird species like the tui and kererū in their natural habitat.
- Unique flora and fauna that have thrived on the West Coast for centuries.
- The engineering marvel of our walkway construction.
Tailored Experiences for Every Group
Every group has different needs, from varying fitness levels to specific learning objectives. We welcome everyone to explore the canopy at their own pace and have made it our mission to make that as convenient as possible for you.
Our walkway is accessible by wheelchair from start to finish, making it one of the most inclusive group activities the West Coast of NZ has to offer.
Walk fast to the top of the Hokitika Tower or stroll through the ferns. We’re here for all ages – always fun, always ready for you.
