Winter Glowworm Tours

The Trust offers guided night tours to see Ōtari’s resident titiwai (glowworms), plus other things that emerge in the night

Each winter we host guided tours in the early evenings to discover titiwai, and other wildlife creatures who venture out in the night in Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush. These are hugely popular and tours quickly get booked out. It’s difficult to add more to meet demand as dates are timed during early or late moon cycles, when the sky is darker and the glowworms brighter! And as it gets closer to summer obviously it gets dark later, so not really suitable for late night expeditions!

This year we will run nine tours. For dates and booking details please click this link to our Centenary Events page: https://www.owbt.nz/visiting/centenary-events/
