      We did the lookout walk which is about an 1,5 hours and absolutely beautiful you walk through so many different terrains that you will be left in awe after this walk. Really cool much better then just seeing Tane Mahuta

      Normally I write the skinny, an abbreviated list of info before I plunge into a review but alas for this visit I can not.The Yakas Trail is CLOSED! If your plan is to park at the visitor center and hike up to the trees, you can not. The visitor center has an info desk, small gift shop, toilets, and a cafe. You must traverse down a single gravel lane to get there. The parking lot is paved. If you want to see the iconic kauri trees you must park at two different lots off the highway. The first spot which is near the biggest tree is a 5 min walk with paved parking on the side of the road. There is a small food truck parked there if you want a snack and a picnic area available as well. No toilets here that I could see. The big tree is massive and really a sight to see. For the second set of trees, you go further down the highway to a gravel lot. The trees there are spread out to easy walks that take from 10 min to 45 min. There is a guy in the lot that watches your car for $2. He's there til 4p (though he left before when we were there)The trees here are equally beautiful and there are benches on the elevated walkways so that you can drink in their beauty. Stay on the paths so as to not destroy the delicate ecosystem in place. There are no toilets at the 2nd location.Note:There are a lot of bugs so bug repellent is handy. For those pesky creatures that do bite, bring an anti itch cream with you. Most of the walk is shaded.

      The ancient Kauri trees definitely have a wow factor and are definitely worth seeing if you have the time. A couple of things to note:-The trip is around 1.5 hours one way from Keri Keri / Bay of Islands region. -As others have noted, Tane Mahuta (on the main road) is awesome, but Te Matua Ngahere is epic and offers better photos and a great walk.-You need to be a little careful of the signs for all of the walks other than Tane Mahuta. The sign simply says Kauri Walks which leads you to a parking lot ($2 dollars) from which you can walk to Te Matua Ngahere, The Four Sisters, and the Yaka's walk.***Since you are already in the area...I highly highly recommend driving towards Omapere and going to the Arai Te Uru Heritage Walk which provides amazing views over Hokianga Harbour. We ended up spending even more time here that with the Kauri trees.

      Visiting this part of New Zealand means you're interested int these big trees. From the parking lot there are a number of walks ou can follow. Each of them not taking more than half an hour.The Four Sisters surely impress you, by having four of the "big trees" standing together. Continuing to Te Matua Ngahere - the second largest kar in NZ - brings you close to one of these huge trees.Unfortunately, there is not enough information about kauri forest, their envirenment, their needs, their history... available in Waipoua Forest itself.If you're interested (and in fact you should be) make sure to reseve an extra 1 to 2 hours to visit Trounson Kauri Forest, 15 km south of Waipour forest. According to me, a much better environment to learn about these masters of the wood, and certainly worthwhile this extra detour.

      I loved the visit to Waipoua Forest to see the ancient and giant Kauri trees. The Forest, and the trees, some of which are more than 2000 years old are amazing.
