Along with Omahuta Forest, forms one of the largest contiguous tracts of native forest in Northland. Home to Te Tangi o te Tui Puketi, the fourth largest living kauri with a height of 50.9 m (167 ft), Puketi is easily accessible from the Bay of Islands, Whangaroa and Hokianga Harbour. Access to the recreation facilities can be reached from State Highway 1 or the network of secondary roads that skirt the forest. Kauri dieback disease, which is devastating kauri forests, has not reached Puketi yet. Clean your shoes before and after visiting, and keep to the tracks.
