Yes, in fact, the forest ambiance and colours are even more stunning in the wet weather, so the Treewalk is a very good all weather activity. However, please be aware that although the forest canopy can provide shelter from the rain, you will need wet weather gear and sturdy shoes for heavier downpours! In addition, it is always advisable to wear a sturdy pair of shoes with a solid tread/sole when visiting the Treewalk during wetter conditions. We will not operate the Treewalk in high winds or during thunder/lightning storms.

Wheelchair users are welcome to access the starting platform, which starts from ground level to 9-metres in height. This platform is accessed via a 50-metre spiral staircase. However, the rest of the Treewalk is unaccessible via wheelchair.

Children and infants cannot be carried at any stage along the Treewalk, either in front or back carriers, in an adult’s arms or on shoulders.

However, we have four baby trolleys available (photo here). These are available on a first come, first served basis and are free of charge to use as part of your Treewalk admission. The strollers can be used by infants 2.3 – 10 kg in weight and 48 – 74 cm in length. Two adults must operate the baby stroller (front and rear). However, our friendly team members are happy to help if you’re visiting solo.

To be able to Treewalk, customers must have a reasonable level of fitness and all Treewalker’s must be able to walk unaided, including children and infants (more info below).

There is a maximum weight of 120 kg for any one individual.

The youngest we’ve had on the Treewalk was 2-weeks old and the oldest was 97-years old… so what’s stopping you?!

The Treewalk entrance is reached via a spiral staircase from ground level to a starting height of 9-metres. The entrance is a lantern inspired spiral designed by New Zealand design and sustainability champion David Trubridge and opened in Autumn 2018. There are no ladders to climb and the only stairs on the Treewalk are those that lead to an optional higher viewing platform.

Visitors can walk at their own pace and take their time to enjoy the unique views from the living decks, however, we do advise Treewalker’s allow up to 30-minutes to complete the daytime Treewalk and up to 45-minutes for the nighttime Treewalk.

The original Treewalk is 553-metres long, plus the 50-metre David Trubridge starting spiral staircase and an optional 100-metre extension at a 20-metre height, so 700-metres in total!

In October 2017, Redwoods Treewalk opened an optional higher viewing platform (more info here), which is included in the Treewalk admission price. This platform extends 20 m from the forest floor and includes two glass panels enabling you to peer straight down… if you dare!
