Step into a world few get to see. This exclusive guided walk takes you deep into a 1,000-year-old forest in Wainuiomata Regional Park—an area normally closed to the public. Wander beneath towering native rātā and rimu trees and discover a sanctuary for North Island brown kiwi and other native birds. 

Led by one of our experienced park rangers, you’ll hear stories about the park’s natural heritage, conservation efforts, and the history that makes this place so special. 

Registrations are extremely limited. Each walk is capped at just 20 participants, with a maximum of two registrations per person. If you’ve joined this event before, please consider letting someone else experience this unique opportunity.
