Explore Te Pō with Tamariki - Kids night walks

Join our expert guides as you explore the forest with your whānau after dark. Witness the valley changing as sunlight fades, and discover which creatures 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. Wandering through the forest, 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 guided by torchlight through the sanctuary. These tours a specially designed for families and younger tamariki 12 years and under. They take a shorter track than our regular night tours and will have a greater focus on engaging kids with what lurks in the night.

Spaces are limited 12 people per tour, so these are a exclusive experience.
