The boardwalk through the Waipoua Forest amongst the Kauri trees is not the same as the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz but it does take you to some incredible places.

Stay on the paths while wandering through the Waipoua Forest as disobeying the signs can cause serious damage to the Kauri Trees and easily damage roots and plant life that make up this natural wonder.
