Our majestic Kauri giants have stood silently over thousands of years, through the generations, witnessing the passing of time.

Our majestic Kauri giants have stood silently over thousands of years, through the generations, witnessing the passing of time.

Experience the affinity our people have with the forest and the deep respect we hold for these sentinels.

We take you back to the very beginning of time, sharing the evolution, the mythology and magic of these ancients - some of the largest remaining Kauri trees in the world. Our Atua (forest gods), waiata (songs) and rongoā (medicine) form our storytelling and lead us to the oldest and largest known Kauri trees in the world whom we honour with spine-tingling chants and song.

Footprints Waipoua acknowledge Te Roroa people, kaitiaki of this great taonga (treasure), and we work with them to ensure new generations will continue to experience these giant sentinels.

Join us for intimate and spiritual encounters with the Waipoua Forest by day or on our signature tour, by night.
