A short, boardwalked forest loop through ancient kauri trees and dense native understory — excellent for dramatic verticals, textured trunks and intimate forest details. Best at early morning or after light rain when moisture enhances colors and mist lingers; overcast days give even light and rich greens. Easily reached from Wharf Road with informal parking; trail is short but has steps and boardwalks. No entry fee. Observe kauri dieback precautions: clean footwear at cleaning stations and stay
