What you can expect

This special night tour of New Zealand's Zealandia is one of the best places to see kiwi in the wild in all of NZ! A truly unique experience, you'll join your friendly guide for a torchlit walk through Zealandia's amazing Sanctuary Valley as it comes alive under the cover of nightfall - many of the cutest species of New Zealand are nocturnal, so this is the time to see them at their most active.

The sights - kiwi rummaging around the forest, tuatara on the hunt for a meal, shimmering glow worms, kākā parrots settling into their roost - combine with the sounds of the New Zealand forest to make for a magical experience great for both adults and kids alike. Grab your ticket online to take part in what world renowned travel guide Lonely Planet dubbed a "life-changing experience - book now to experience Zealandia for yourself!
