Westcoast Treetop Walk & Cafe

An exhilarating treetop adventure among temperate rainforest giants. Experience life with the birds, high in the ancient Rimu and Kamahi tree canopy.

Easy access for all to enjoy along a steel platform 20 metres high and over 450 metres long. Come and enjoy a leisurely 45 minute to one hour stroll through the beautiful West Coast rainforest tree tops. The walkways are wheelchair and pram friendly. Parents can let their children roam freely (whilst under direct supervision) as the walkways are completely enclosed to ensure their safety.

Thrill seekers will feel their hearts pump and the adrenaline rush as they climb to the top of Hokitika Tower 40 metres above the forest floor. Be inspired by a sensational vista of the majestic snow capped Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea. Gently sway in harmony with the forest on the Mahinapua Springboard. View the exquisite Lake Mahinapua through the richly diverse forest foliage.

Relax in our al fresco Café, enjoy the view and choose from a wide range of options on our menu. The café is open from 9 am until 3 pm in the summer, or until 2 pm in the winter. Seasonal choices are on offer, as well as our daily specials. Gravity Coffee can either be enjoyed in house or takeaway if requested.

A short 3-5 minute bush walk from the cafe takes you to the start of the Treetop Walk. A shuttle is also available if required for those with limited mobility. Wheelchair access: we can provide assistance to the start of the structure for those in wheelchairs that are able to transfer into our golf cart. Motorised wheelchairs are able to access the entire walkway.
