Activity itinerary

Hairluxx Boutique

  • 10m
Begin your evening with a warm welcome and a short safety briefing before setting off on a guided walk through Awaruku Reserve—a 12-hectare native forest rich in history and biodiversity. As you explore the trail, your guide will highlight ancient Kauri trees, Nikau palms, and share stories of early Māori settlements that once thrived here.

Awaruku Bush Reserve (Pass by)

As night falls, you'll reach a secluded forest spot where glowworms (Arachnocampa luminosa) light up the darkness. Unlike many tours, this experience does not involve caves—instead, the glowworms can be seen in their natural outdoor habitat. Learn how these fascinating creatures use bioluminescence to attract prey in a truly magical display. The tour continues with insights into the conservation efforts that support native wildlife like the Kākā and Kererū, and concludes with a peaceful walk back under the stars. This tranquil, educational experience offers a rare glimpse into the wonders of New Zealand’s native bush—no caves required.
