Okarito Kiwi Tours is the only place in the South Island you can join a tour to get deep into Kiwi Habitat. We offer low-key, low-impact guiding.
At present we have an 85% sighting success ratio.
This is a concessional activity with numbers limited to 7 per night. We interpret bird calls along the way and have a detailed knowledge of the local area and its history.
We explain the Maori myths and legends that surround the story as to how a kiwi became a ground dwelling bird. Once we reach the kiwi habitat, we listen for kiwi activity. We will hear the bird calling – the very unique sound resonating for miles into the quiet of the night.
Backpacker/Motel type accomodation available at $30 per person.
Franz Josef does not have scheduled passenger air services.
