A stunning native forest walk, gorgeous canopy, huge Kauri trees, board walks, a swing bridge and a hidden gem waterfall at the end of the track! This really is a hidden gem of the region!

A.H. Reed Memorial Kauri Park is a stunning slice of Northland's original kauri forest, boasting ancient trees over 500 years old. Visitors can stroll along the raised Canopy Walkway for an up-close view of these majestic giants and enjoy the tranquil Wai Koromiko Stream running through the park. Don't miss the impressive Paranui Falls, standing at over 23 meters high. With wheelchair-friendly tracks and various loop walks, this park offers a diverse range of experiences for nature lovers of all abilities.

From a reviewer:

'A beautiful native forest walk with amazing huge old kauri trees. It's really nice to see kauris so close to whangarei! The whole walk is shaded by trees so it's perfect on hot sunny days.

Plenty of beautiful nature to see here, and the tracks are well maintained. There are lots of bridges to cross over with rivers running underneath.

There is a very high canopy bridge to walk over too which is really amazing and fun. A very easy walk for the whole family however if you want to see the waterfall, be prepared to walk up around 100 steps (unless you park at the other end close to the waterfall). Plenty of space at the carpark with security cameras and a public toilet. Very safe. Great spots for a picnic near the waterfall aswell.

The tracks goes all the way to tiki falls if your feeling committed'
