Omahuta Forest is one of the most impressive remaining Kauri forest in New Zealand. Kauri is a coniferous tree of Araucariaceae in the genus Agathis native to the northern region of New Zealand's north island. Omahuta Sanctuary Walk offers a great opportunity to admire a magnificent part of this subtropical ecosystem. Most impressive is Hokianga which was in 2013 the sixth largest Kauri tree in the world. Die Kauri-Bäume aus der Araukariengruppe wachsen ausschließlich im Norden der Nordinsel Neuseelands. Einer der letzten dieser Wälder ist der Omahuta Forest in der Provinz Northland. Der Omahuta-Sanctury-Weg führt in einen besonders schönen Teil dieses Ökosystems mit einer Reihe alter Kauri-Bäume. Dort sieht man Hokianga, der 2013 als sechstgrößter Kauri-Baum in der Welt galt.
