Kauri Glen Reserve｜A Hidden Native Forest Gem in Auckland's North Shore

Kauri Glen Reserve is located in the Northcote area of the North Shore. Although it's not far from the city center, stepping onto the trail immediately immerses you in lush greenery, with towering canopies and tranquil shaded paths—a rare peaceful natural retreat within the city. The highlight of this reserve is the "Kauri Tree," a precious native species of New Zealand and a natural asset highly valued by locals. Before entering the trail, you'll notice shoe-cleaning facilities designed to prevent the spread of Kauri dieback disease. Remember to clean your shoe soles properly when visiting conservation forests like this!
