Explore Te Pō - Spring Night Tours at Orokonui

Join our expert guides as you explore the forest after dark. Witness the valley changing as sunlight fades, and discover the creatures that call te pō home. 

Participants will learn about the valley's nocturnal wildlife, and the work Orokonui does to protect these often unseen sanctuary residents. Our guides will share stories of how interactions between people and nature have shaped our connections with both wildlife and the night itself. 

Tours depart just as the light disappears, so you will be led by torchlight through the sanctuary. Although the tracks are in good condition, a reasonable level of fitness is required to comfortably partake.

Spaces are limited to 10 people per tour to ensure groups can move quietly and safely through the valley. For health and safety reasons these tours are not suitable for children under 12 years of age.

Every tour supports our vital work to help wildlife thrive.
