Wellington Karori Wildlife Sanctuary Night Tour - Wellington, New Zealand

Discover a world-first wildlife sanctuary - just minutes from downtown Wellington. A 250 hectare valley surrounded by a predator-proof fence provides a safe haven for rare and endangered New Zealand wildlife that have been released inside – including little spotted kiwi, kaka, saddleback, bellbird and many more.

Let an experienced guide take you on a fascinating two hour tour to experience the wonders of New Zealand's native bush at night. You'll engage all your senses at a different time of the day than you'd usually consider.

A tour with a difference, you'll engage all your senses as you experience the wonders of the New Zealand native bush at night. This 2 hour guided tour provides the opportunity to hear the dusk chorus before the nocturnal birds come to life. Listen for the calls of the little spotted kiwi, weka and morepork, and if you're lucky you may even see little spotted kiwi in the wild! Taking a well-developed trail, the tour passes two reservoirs, historical buildings, tuatara in natural habitat and a “shag roost” tree. Native New Zealand glow worms in the bush add a magical element. If you’re overnighting in Wellington, this is the tour to do!

Remember to bring good walking shoes and a warm jacket - you'll be provided with a torch and an experienced Sanctuary guide up-front and behind the group.
