Trounson Kauri Park

Trounson Kauri Park is just a few kilometres from Kauri Coast Top 10 Holiday Park.

It is a 450-hectare forest reserve restoration project working to restore the former richness of native biodiversity this forest once boasted, allowing people to enjoy a glimpse of what pristine Kauri forests were once like.

The reserve is home to several threatened species, such as North Island brown kiwi, kukupa (NZ pigeon), pekapeka (bats) and kauri snails. It also incorporates a magnificent dense strand of Kauri that has long been recognised as one of the best examples in the country.
