Here’s your ultimate guide to Rotorua’s Redwood Forest

🌲 Redwood Forest, Rotorua 📍 Location: Navigate to "Redwood Forest" (Whakarewarewa Forest) — just minutes from downtown! 🆓 Park Entry: FREE (open 24/7 for hiking & exploring). Why Visit? ✔ 100-year-old California redwoods tower 75m high—smell that fresh pine scent! 🌿 ✔ Epic hiking trails (easy to challenging) under a lush green canopy. ✔ Secret streams & ferns make it feel like a Jurassic Park scene! 🦕 🌟 Treewalk Experience (Paid) 1️⃣ Daytime Walk (9AM-5PM) $39: Suspended bridges let you touch the giants. But honestly? Free hiking feels just as magical! 2️⃣ Nightlights Walk (6PM-10PM) 🌌 $39 or $60 combo (day+night): MUST-DO! Thousands of lanterns + "glowworm" illusions light up the forest. Hot Tip: Book the "Twilight Slot" (dusk) to see both daylight & lit-up magic! 🎟️ Tickets: Buy online to skip queues (+ priority entry options). 💡 Pro Tips Avoid Crowds: Arrive by 7:30PM for night walks (lines get crazy by 8PM!). Pack: A jacket (cool at night) + camera (long exposure for light trails!). Hungry? Grab burgers early—food trucks sell out fast! 🍔 📸 Best Photo Spots ✔ "Cathedral Grove" (sunbeams piercing through trees). ✔ Nightlights’ "Starlight Bridge" (most insta-famous spot!). #RedwoodForest #RotoruaNZ #HikingParadise #NightMagic 🌿📷
