Aussie Bushwalking can keep track of your bushwalks.
Login/signup to tick this walk off.A treetop walkway that takes you 30m up into the canopy and includes a cantilever and 47m tower that provides a spectacular vista of the surrounding mountains, lakes and forest.
From Hokitika, head south out of town on the State Highway 6 for 14km past Lake Mahinapua and then turn left into Woodstock-Rimu Road. After 2km, West Coast Treetop is on your left.
From the right hand side of the Cafe & Retail Shop, follow the pathway uphill to the start of the walkway structure on your right. Follow this around, climb the tower and out onto the cantilever to the end. Then return along the pathway to the start.
This is a private enterprise and entry fees apply.
Information boards along the way and a brochure provide you with details on the flora and fauna.
As with most South Island towns, there are always numerous tracks in and around the area. In this case most notably around Lake Kaniere and of course Hokitika Gorge.
