Explore the Orokonui forest at night and discover a glowing world of manu, nocturnal music and magic! A special sanctuary lantern show and walking trail that celebrates some of our most treasured messengers - our native birds.

Small groups will be guided around the walk with time to take in the sights and sounds of lantern installations by the Midwinter Carnival team. Bookings are in one hour sessions.

Although wildlife is always on display at the sanctuary this will not be the focus of this event, if you are interested in learning more about our nocturnal wildlife of Orokonui check out our night tours.

The walk covers just over 1 km across mostly flat gravel tracks. Note these are special sessions of this event designed to increase accessibility to participants,
please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your participation. These sessions take a modified route to make the most of our best and most accessible tracks so a small number of installations will not be visible.

Join in this unique fundraising event for Orokonui Ecosanctuary and Dunedin Midwinter Carnival. Working together to help our wildlife and communities thrive.
