Introduction

The Redwoods lie in Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Forest, where North American sequoias planted in 1901 now tower overhead. Suspended canopy walkways and mountain-bike trails thread the woods; soaring red trunks and mist make it Rotorua's most lung-cleansing natural air bath. At night the canopy is lit and the walkway becomes a dreamy light corridor — Rotorua's unique after-dark walk.
