Step in for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see New Zealand’s iconic Kiwi bird living freely in its natural habitat. Led by an expert guide, this immersive night walk takes you through the native bush of predator-free Tāwharanui Regional Park, one of the country’s remarkable open sanctuaries and a thriving home for wildlife.

Before your adventure begins, enjoy a delicious 3-course dinner at Matakana Market Kitchen, located alongside the scenic Matakana River. After dinner, continue to Tāwharanui as daylight fades and the native forest comes alive after dark.

Equipped with red-lensed torches, follow peaceful forest trails while learning about Kiwi birds, their behaviour, habitat, and local conservation efforts. Listen to the sounds of the forest, watch for other nocturnal wildlife, and enjoy the excitement of searching for Kiwi birds roaming freely in the wild.

Combining dining, nature, conservation, and wildlife, this unique evening offers an unforgettable New Zealand experience
