Tramp tramp!! - Many interesting viewpoints along the way. The gorge walk was though, but worth It. The treetop walkway gives the impression of being in another world... I would've preferred the two to be separate exploration activities though...a bit tough on those who don't have the time or the inclinación to tackle both in one go.

Hokitika Tree Top Walkway - It took us about an hour to do the Hokitika Tree Top Walkway. The walk was very easy. The scenery was very nice. For people that want more thrills, you can take a zip line from the top of a tower to the starting point. There is also a cafe for light refreshments.

If you get the chance to do this trip, do it! - Every time you turn a corner, there is somethng even more brathtaking to look at. I could have spent hours ther just been bowled over by the natural beauty. Make sure that you are wearing sensible shoes as there is a fair bit of walking invovled and some of it is up hill.
The mini bus driver, Bob, was lovely. Knowledgable and very friendly. Lots of local stories and a great advocate for New Zealand.
if you get the chance to do this trip, do it!

World class newly built walking trails showcasing old growth NZ forests - A short drive south of Greymouth is the Hokitaki Gorge and tree top walks. The gorge walk is spectacular plus with an immersive experience that’s truly wonderful and the tree top walk similar with an aerial view. Well hosted with the occasional commentary on the history of the area and recommended as a must see during a visit to Greymouth.

Hokitika Gorge - We really enjoyed walking around here. Worth doing even when the weather changed and it rained. It would be better to have walked around here on a dry day but worth getting wet for.

Must Do in Greymouth - What a wonderful way to explore Greymouth and surrounding areas! I really appreciate the insightful commentary offered by Paul, especially around Māori history and local conservation efforts. Thank you for sharing the wild west coast with us! Recommend this tour operator for anyone visiting Greymouth.

Kiwi seeing my country - We did the walk again after a number of years and it was a good experience the views were stunning, looking forward to returning to do the Zipline in the future. Afterwards we enjoyed a good coffee at the Cafe but due to staffing shortages there was no kitchen open. That's such a shame when they are one the Wilderness trail and lots of cyclists were stopping off for food and refreshments

Not worth $184 - The Gorge is beautiful! But you don’t get a guided tour (you can do it by yourself). You have a person walk behind you and that is it. The treetop walk is only $30 and you get charged $184
