A board walk winds through a mature stand of kauri, swamp forest and associated vegetation. Interpretive panels help you understand and enjoy this special forest ecosystem.
A large viewing area set in a kauri grove allows you to sit in awe of the towering trees around you.
The track is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
If travelling south on State Highway 10, Puketi Kauri Forest is sign posted 2.4 km south of Kaeo.

The walk can also be reached from State Highway 1. Take the Puketi Road turn, then left into Waiare Road. Follow Waiare Road past the Puketi Forest Headquarters on your left.
