A Wonderful Evening

So excited to finally see kiwis in the wild - 8 in fact! Too cloudy for the stargazing but that didn't matter as we had more time to look for kiwis. And so close to Auckland!

Thanks Gazzer for your lovely review! Seeing eight wild kiwis is such a treat—what an unforgettable night! Even without the stars, more kiwi time is always a win. 🐤🌿 So glad you got to experience this so close to Auckland!

Great experience

If you are thinking about this do it as our guide, Legend, was excellent. Saw at least 10 kiwis and managed to get a lot closer than expected. Combine this with checking out the stars afterwards and definitely worth doing.

Thanks so much for your review Steven! We're thrilled you had such a great time with Legend and saw at least 10 kiwis—amazing! Getting that close is truly special, and pairing it with stargazing makes it even more magical. 🌟🐤

Magical adventure!

My friends and I enjoyed such an incredible nighttime. experience with our guide Legend. The stars shone above us as we quietly explored the bush tracks with red torches in hand, keeping quiet, and we got to see so many wild kiwi, it was amazing..! And the telescope and binoculars for exploring the universe at the end of the tour was also amazing! In case anyone else is going, the meeting point is just outside the toilets, inside rhe Tāwharanui regional park, so come on through the gates and keep going to the main carpark. Once you find your guide, you are all good!

Thank you Fran for such a wonderful review! We're so glad you and your friends had an incredible night under the stars with Legend. Quietly exploring the bush and spotting wild kiwi is a truly magical experience—and we're thrilled you got to see so many! 🌌🦉 The stargazing with the telescope and binoculars is always a special way to wrap things up. And thanks for the helpful tip about the meeting point—future adventurers will appreciate it! Hope to see you again for another night of nature and wonder! ✨🌿
