What To Expect

Tane Mahuta Walk

Tāne Mahuta is New Zealand’s largest known living kauri tree, located in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. Often called the “Lord of the Forest,” it is estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Standing at about 51 meters tall with a trunk girth of over 13 meters, Tāne Mahuta is a sacred tree in Māori culture, believed to be the son of Ranginui (the sky father) and Papatūānuku (the earth mother), who separated his parents to let light into the world. It's a must-visit natural wonder symbolizing life, growth, and connection to nature.
