The forest surrounding the Old Whakanui Track changes noticeably as the route climbs the 600 metre plus hillside. Lower down, the terrain is steep but when the terrain levels out, the bush is dense and damp, with a lush understorey of ferns and mosses with tall podocarp trees reaching skyward. This upper section feels especially pristine, providing habitat for native wildlife, including rare species such as kiwi.
