Each winter we host guided tours in the early evenings to discover glowworms, and other wildlife creatures who venture out in the night in Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush. Word has certainly got out about our titiwai, last season we hosted some 250 people in 13 tours. More wanted to come but there was no room at the inn.
So here’s your chance for 2025. Our tour dates are timed during early or late moon cycles, when the sky is darker and the glowworms brighter!
Tours start at 7pm and finish at 8.15. (Meet at Tāne Whakapiripiri, the visitor centre.) Adults cost $10 (plus booking fees), children under 12 are free and Trust members are free. Maximum numbers per tour are 20, so it pays to book. You can do this on Eventfinda (eventfinda.co.nz).
Here are the remaining dates:
