Tex-kiwi travel talk:Did U Know?...Puketi and Omahuta form one of the largest remaining continuous tracts of native forest in Northland NZ. At more than 21,000 ha, this forest tract is the second largest but most intact forested habitat in the Eastern Northland Ecological.
With over 360 indigenous species of plants, this forest is one of the most diverse in New Zealand. It supports nine threatened fauna species and several others which are endemic, or regionally significant.
Bird species found at Puketi & Omahuta forests include North Island brown kiwi, kokako, NZ pigeon/kukupa, pied tit, banded rail, and fernbird.
The forests are also home to short-tailed and long-tailed bats, Pacific gecko, and Northland green gecko.
You can also find Northland tusked weta, Kauri snail, and native fish including banded kokopu, and koaro.
The forests offer a range recreation opportunities including tramping, camping and hunting.
Guests enjoy traditional greeting from Maori warriors as they are escorted through the native bush in the evening. Tumeke!
