Sehr persönliche engagierte und fundierte Führung. Man merkt wie sehr sie mit dem Wald verbunden sind. Und man erfährt auch viel über die Gedankenwelt der Maori
Very personal, committed and thorough leadership. You can see how much they are connected to the forest. And you learn a lot about the Maori mindset too

So what we have always believed has been proved by science. This is fantastic! https://www.collective-evolution.com/2018/05/10/scientists-discover-that-trees-have-a-heartbeat-too/?fbclid=IwAR3gTcqBDMdz50a0gLaqnu7lyW-44MwbCf648t8PbcgwGeDpZ6mFJCfq_dM

It seems everyday more and more information is being uncovered about trees and the many mysteries within them. We know that they are alive, but it seems they are even more alive than we may have thought. Trees are interconnected underground, we also now know that trees can communicate with one anoth...

Our thanks go out to these talented young German film-makers Sina and Phillip Richter who fell in love with this stunning rainforest during a tour with us in February 2020. Their respect and love for our special place and the connection our kaiarahi (guides) feel for this whenua (land) has been magically captured in this fantastic video, now live on You Tube. Congratulations Sina and Phillip and thank you for your enthusiasm and effort to promote Whirinaki to the world.

To the tangata whenua, the Original People of the Land, Whirinaki rainforest was a pharmacy, a supermarket and an abundant source of valuable building materi...

Kia Ora!

I had clients John and his son on a private tour this past 03 FEB. Their day in the rain-forest was the highlight of their trip to New Zealand.
Thank you

Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that we had a blast out there in the Whirinaki forest today!

Ben was a great guide who gave us deep insights into your nature and the Maori culture. He was very kind, entertaining and patient with all of our questions and gave us background information way beyond what we had expected. So if you ever choose for employee of the month, definitely take him into account :-) We enjoyed this trip very much and will definitely remember and recommend it! And thanks for that big amount of yummy food!!!
Cheers & a very lovely New Years Eve

I want to thank you and your colleagues once more for the wonderful time you gave us during the 2 walks and all the interesting stories you told us during the day. I have had a fantastic holiday. We were really lucky with the weather, we had a nice group and great excursions. Nature-wise, it is definitely one of the most beautiful countries I have ever visited and New-Zealand will forever have a very special place in my heart.

Best regards,
Chantal Theunissen

Hello
How are you? Maby you forget who I am but in January we were with you in the rainforest for a hike. You learned us a lot about medicine and what we could use from nature.

We think back with great memories. Thanks for that.

Pleased to have joined this forest walk the other day. A refreshing experience away from the bustles of the town. Definitely an eye opener for me who have never walked in a forest during winter, plus learnt a few bits and pieces of knowledge about the plants in a temperate forest with their medicinal effect. A small group as such was easy to manage and received greater attention to our questions. The only setback was the untimely rain during lunch but it's act of God. Nevertheless, the lunch was delicious. Please convey my sincere gratitude to your lovely assistant for that. Just back to Malaysia yesterday and will need to recollect the holiday mood and prepare for the corporate world.
Thanks again for the meaningful walk in the woods and the distinctive experience of no other provided by your team.
Thank you and warm regards,
Yee Lei

Whirinaki Rainforest Experiences. Arrive as strangers, depart as friends. Learn something, leave something and share experiences in a natural wonderland that deserves to be a movie set.

Awesome day at the Forest. Great guides who can tell you a lot about the Maori culture and how they used to use the forest to live in and still do. Lovely track, great scenery. When you get in the mini van to get back and your eyes are getting a little bit heavy, you'll probably have a smile on your face cause you're happy and know you've had a wonderful day! Awesome guys!

We had an awesome day on 9/10/15 on our private Rainforest Experience. We learned so much and there are no proper words to describe our Experience. Thank you so much, Markus & Kristina
