Highlights
This small-group night walk departs from central Auckland to visit a hidden colony of wild glowworms in a native forest reserve. Travel by vehicle to the forest with a local nature guide, then walk slowly along easy, well-maintained trails as countless tiny blue lights illuminate stream banks and walls of ferns. Your guide shares stories about the forest ecosystem and how glowworms live and glow. The tour runs in small groups of up to 6 people and includes round-trip transportation, a torch and insect repellent.
Program
Meet in central Auckland
and travel to the forest reserve
In the evening, meet your guide in front of the Ferry Building at 99 Quay Street in central Auckland and travel to the forest in a comfortable vehicle. Pickup is at 8:30 PM for most of the year and may be extended to 9:00 PM in midsummer. The round trip from central Auckland takes about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Walk slowly along native forest trails after dark
As the sun sets, enter a forest where the birds fall silent and insects begin to hum. Walking slowly along easy, well-maintained trails, your eyes adjust to the darkness and tiny blue lights appear, scattered along stream banks and hanging from damp fern walls.
Hear stories about glowworms and the forest from your guide
This is a calm, small-group walk rather than a cave tour or crowded attraction. Your guide talks about the forest, the ecosystem that allows glowworms to thrive, how glowworms live, feed and glow, and their role in New Zealand's ecosystem. Depending on the night, you may hear the gentle sound of a nearby stream or native birds settling in for the evening.
Finish the walk and return to the city
After the walk, return by vehicle to the departure point in central Auckland. If you are staying in the city center, you can be dropped off at your accommodation on request.
