How to get there, on doc.govt.nzA sign on Chatham Island's North Road, one and a half kilometres past Pana/Blind Jim's Creek, marks the access to the reserve. To reach the entrance, walk uphill for a kilometre following the fenceline marked with orange triangles to an entrance stile and sign.

About this place
A short track follows a loop that takes in some peaceful forest glades in among lush regeneration beneath stately palms.
The route
Nīkau Bush Conservation Area contains 19 hectares of lowland broadleaved forest. Since it was fenced regeneration has been prolific and the Nīkau flowering in December and January is spectacular. A short track follows a loop through the forest and takes in some peaceful forest glades in among lush regeneration beneath stately palms. The round trip from the road takes about one hour.
