Whirinaki Rainforest Experiences

For a country that is so well-endowed with natural features, it’s difficult to find a forest of distinction. But one certainly exists. Whirinaki is one-of-a-kind in this land of such spectacular scenery. And it’s within easy driving distance of Whakatāne.

Explore the internationally-acclaimed Whirinaki rainforest with the pioneers of eco-tourism in this region. Simply spectacular walk-based experiences.
