Trounson Kauri Park
A walk through Trounson offers visitors a great experience, just to view this wonderful forest. The particularly lush vegetation is dominated by kauri, taraire, kauri grass, kiekie, ferns, and epiphytes.
Kukupa can be seen by day and, with patience, kiwi by night. Fantails, pied tits, morepork and other forest birds are also resident. Fallen kauri, lightwells, clear streams and filmy ferns are among the many other interesting features of Trounson.
Interpretation panels and audio points add to this easy going 30 to 40 min track. A guided night-walk, available with a local tourism operator provides another opportunity to experience the forest by night.
Take an easy 40-minute loop walk through a spectacular stand of kauri and experience the unique character of this ancient forest.
