New Zealand largest Kauri Tree, 5th biggest tree in the world. Just a few minutes walk

Tāne Mahuta, also known as the "God of the Forest," is a massive kauri tree located in New Zealand's Waipoua Forest. Estimated to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years old, this ancient giant stands as the largest living kauri tree known today. Named after the Māori god of forests and birds, Tāne Mahuta is a symbol of the rich natural heritage of New Zealand and has become a famous landmark in the country. Despite facing threats like kauri dieback disease, efforts are underway to protect and preserve this majestic tree for future generations to admire.

From a reviewer:

'W O W!! Absolutely breathtaking. It's impossible to articulate via words how magical this forest and family of trees are. We met Henry who gave us much more history than the signage conveys, as well as further recommendations on how to experience this beautiful area of Earth. Thank you for sharing such a sacred space!'
