Sanctuary by Night (Wellington, New Zealand)

   This tour offers you to discover a world-first wildlife sanctuary - just minutes from downtown Wellington. A 250 hectare valley surrounded by a predator-proof fence provides a safe haven for rare and endangered New Zealand wildlife that have been released inside – including little spotted kiwi, kaka, saddleback, bellbird and many more.

Let an experienced guide take you on a fascinating two hour tour to experience the wonders of New Zealand's native bush at night. You'll engage all your senses at a different time of the day than you'd usually consider. This tour is a must to get!

New Zealand's two hour guided tour will give you the opportunity to hear the dusk chorus then the nocturnal birds come into life - hear the calls of little spotted kiwi, weka and morepork. And keep your eyes peeled as some lucky people may even see the little spotted kiwi. The well-developed trail passes two reservoirs, historical buildings, a 'shag roost' tree and a wonderful view of native New Zealand glow-worms.

Remember to bring good walking shoes and a warm jacket - this tour will provide you with a torch and an experienced Sanctuary guide up-front and behind the group.
