Really easy walk, mostly flat

Second biggest Kauai. Well worth the walk. Enjoy the journey and the destination. The die-back in some of the trees along the way means you won't be seeing Kauai for much longer.

This was a great walk for the kids, about an hour return. We have two 5 year olds and one 7 year old and they moved it.I brought a couple snacks to enjoy when we got to Te Matua Ngahere and everyone was happy!It's the perfect pair to seeing Tane Mahuta, just 2 minutes up the road.

This was the second time I had visited the Waipoua Kauri Forest (previous time was around 25 years ago) and I found it to be one of the highlights of my week long holiday - the tracks were well maintained and mostly fairly flat but the trees are just amazing! - I was more impressed by Te Matua Ngahere than I was by Tane Mahuta - that tree is a monster - the scale of which, just can't be captured in photographs (much to my dismay) - the guides who were on site also added to the experience with interesting facts and historical information - I'm sure I'll be just as awestruck if I visit again 25 years from now.

This huge tree stood here well before our society as we know it was made. I like the fact that it is a bit hidden in the forest and you can't immediately see it from the road. Walking towards it is already magical since you just see little bits of it until the very end. Make sure to not skip it!

Take the time to stop on the road while you are driving through New Zealand to see the second largest living Kauri tree.It’s about a 15 minute walk along easy and well developed trails and raised wooden walkways to reach this amazing natural wonder.Put it in your “must see” list, and enjoy a short relaxing hike, too.There is plenty of parking along the road.Be sure to clean your shoes on entering the area to protect the trees!

Just before the Tane Mahuta stop, take the time to walk the Kauri Forest walk and see Te Matua Ngahere, the 2nd largest Kauri tree, and wider than Tane at 16 metres. Great walk to see various enormous century-old Kauri trees together.

The father of the forest. Found it even more impressive than Tane Mahuta. Beautiful 25 minute walk through the Kauti forest to reach this massive beast. Simply amazing. The path can be done with a pram/buggy
