OUR STORY
In 2004 Tree Adventures opened New Zealand’s first forest adventure park in the Woodhill Forest, north-west of Auckland. While the courses have been upgraded and changed numerous times over the 15 years we’ve been open, our core values as a business have remained the same. We pride ourselves on providing a fun, safe and rewarding experience which we believe is truly unforgettable. Over the years we’ve been fortunate to have some incredible people in our team who share our commitment to integrity and exceptional customer service.

BUSINESS INFORMATION
HISTORY
The forest adventure park concept was first conceived in France and has boomed in recent years with over 500 parks throughout France, and increasing popularity worldwide. Woodhill’s Tree Adventure Park is the brainchild of six French enthusiasts with a wealth of experience working in and building parks throughout France. They researched forests worldwide in the hunt for a new and interesting place to introduce the forest adventure concept and they finally chose the Woodhill Forest in New Zealand for its natural beauty and the adventurous nature of Kiwi culture.
Tree Adventures was the first adventure park of its kind to open in New Zealand and has been operating since December 2004.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
Tree Adventures is an environmentally friendly park built with the long-term health of the forest in mind. A professional arborist carefully selected the trees on which to build, and ongoing assessments monitor their structural integrity and health. Our structures are designed to avoid damaging the trees and allow them to continue growing naturally.
Tree Adventures staff monitor the courses daily and perform thorough checks on a regular basis. A specialist independent company also performs an annual course audit to ensure safety.
