Discover the magic of the ngahere at night on this unforgettable 75-minute guided experience at the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary.
Your journey begins at the Sanctuary Visitor Centre for a briefing and introduction about the sanctuary and the mahi. Our friendly, knowledgeable guides will welcome you, introduce the Sanctuary, and then lead you deep into the forest. Under the cover of darkness you’ll walk under towering trees, hear the rustling of nocturnal wildlife, and feel the forest awaken. Listen for the haunting call of ruru — and if you’re lucky, the call of kiwi pukupuku. Along the way, you’ll encounter the magical bioluminescent glow of our resident glowworms — a truly enchanting sight.
This unique night-time experience is limited to just 10-12 guests per tour, with two guides leading each group.
Tour fees directly support our ongoing restoration and development of this unique environment and ecosystem, helping to fund vital conservation activities and initiatives.
