Explore Te pō – Night Tours
Join our expert guides as you explore the forest 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. Although the tracks are in good condition a reasonable level of fitness is required to comfortably partake. Due to the time spent out in the forest these tours are only suited for children 12 years and above.
