Redwoods Treewalk
Next you choose:
1. Enjoy a relaxed ground walk through the famous Redwoods Forest. Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the calm and cool atmosphere in this special place.
2. Upgrade to experience the exciting Redwoods Treetop Walk (Highly recommended, payable on the day). Traverse the swing bridges and walkways high in the forest, and learn about this unique ecosystem. Breathe in the cool and clean air, and look out for native birdlife as you explore the many walkways and bridges. This is an outstanding activity, and one of our absolute favourites in the region.
3. For those more keen on a little luxury quiet time, we will take you to Secret Spot Hot Tubs, instead of the Redwoods Forest. You can hire a private forest spa, complete with drinks on tap! What a way to wind up your day in nature! Extra admission charge applies for the private hot tubs.
