About

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 where our friendly, knowledgeable guides will brief you and provide an introduction about the sanctuary will welcome you before leading 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 glowworms - a truly enchanting sight. This unique night-time experience is limited to just 10-12 guests per tour.
