 the miracle of life (생명의기적),

the tranquility of being embraced by tall mountains (웅장한 산속에 안긴 고요함),

 the crystal clear Whirinaki river (휘리나키강의 수정 같은 물)

waterfalls (폭포)

forest,

bush tracks,

키위도 살고 있는 bird life,

nature

 

" 공룡의 숲"이라는 별명이 있는데요. 우리한테는 '쥬라기 공원'이라고 불리겠지요?  

조만간에 꼭 여기 한번 가봐야겠습니다.  

The Whirinaki Forest is described as a 'dinosaur forest, due to its many tall trees which began life hundreds of years ago. It contains species unique to NZ that developed over millions of years.

Whirinaki was one of New Zealand's most famous conservation battlegrounds. We realize now that for a period our economic survival instincts caused us to lose touch with our traditional values. We thank those dedicated "Greenies" who fought so hard to protect the remaining forest from milling by the Government Forestry programmes at the time. A painful lesson for all is being healed by knowing that together we can safeguard this treasure for the future.

To all the trampers, walkers, nature lovers, mountainbike riders, hunters, fishermen, photographers, artists, (including less mobile visitors and elderly), we promise that after time with us in Whirinaki you will return a different person.

We are on the Te Urewera Rainforest Route - see website for a collection of local tourism operators and activities that can connect you to the rich spirit of our region, Download the manual with all information.

 

The forest is accessible (via Highway 38) on a sealed road in just over an hour from Rotorua by car. No public transport is currently available.
