Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari
Ancient Forest Guided Walk
The original tour offers visitors the opportunity to step
through the pest-proof fence, breathe in the forest air, and
be blown away by striking pest-free ancient forest
dominated by towering trees and plants including the
iconic silver fern.
Visitors will learn about conservation in NZ and our
amazing flora and fauna and have the chance to climb the
16m tower up into the canopy. Local, expert guides will also
help visitors spot wildlife such as kākā, tūī, hihi, korimako
kererū, and pōpokotea to name a few.
