With the guide we did two of the short tracks but he explained other items than on the boards. He sang for the 3000 year old tree and played his flute, and burned some gum. An enchanting trip to see these fores giants in another light

This was excellence experience. Although after long travel, totally exhaust, without dinner - we were very happy to participate in this EVENT. It happen that on this evening we were alone -one family and guide - Bill. Listening to his chanting, stories and prays was really touch of magic. Enjoy silence of the twilight, night sky with thousand stars above... More

I have been on many guided nature tours but "Footprints Waipoua" deserves all the accolades it has received. In harmony with nature, well-informed, spiritual, our Maori guide made this evening a highlight of our three weeks in the North Island of New Zealand which we will always treasure. Not to be missed!

This tour is a must do for anyone travelling to NZ as it offers not only a unique insight into the maori culture and beliefs but also how awe inspiring... More

Booked this trip via our hotel for myself and my partner without looking at the prices; when I saw them later on a leaflet I choked slightly- $NZ95 each for a walk in the forest? But it was well worth it (and a portion of that goes toward the NZ Dept of Conservation for caring for the forest). Highly recommended-... More

What Koro and team have done here is to take you for a walk through the forest to see it also from the Maori perspective. Well done guys, been with you twice and will go again
