This Nighttime Hike Lets You Walk Among 120-year-old Redwoods-and It Involves Suspension Bridges and Magical Lanterns

"The majestic redwood forest-tall, proud, and timeless-is at the heart of this experience. Some trees are more than 120 years old. The human element comes in with the walkways that wind around and among the trees, suspended up to 65 feet above the forest floor. Hand-crafted lanterns illuminate the scene with a soft, otherworldly glow that evokes the charm of a fairy village. 28 suspension bridges connect the walkway, turning a simple stroll into a dreamlike journey."

"A general admission ticket for either the daytime or the Nightlights experience is $42 for adults, but you can also buy a day-and-night combo pass for $69. The general admission tickets are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. However, during peak periods (summer, public and school holidays, weekends) paying extra for a "Fast Pass" is recommended, because it allows you to book a specific date and time for entry."

Rotorua Treewalk's Nightlights experience features an elevated half-mile walkway through a mature redwood forest, with trees over 120 years old and walkways suspended up to 65 feet above the forest floor. Hand-crafted lanterns and a network of 28 suspension bridges create a lantern-lit atmosphere with 27 platforms for pausing and viewing. The Nightlights tour opens 20 minutes after sunset, though the Treewalk also operates during daytime. General admission costs $42 for adults, with a day-and-night combo pass at $69 and optional Fast Passes during peak periods to reserve specific entry times. The route suits those who can walk unaided.
