In order to retain what makes us so special we limit the number of visitors to 300 per day and we recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment
Stand still, breathe in the forest air and experience the life force of the maunga (mountain). Hear birdsong, feel the rustle of the wind through ancient trees and experience the energy of nature - it's all here, waiting for you. Come and explore Te Tūī a Tāne (Southern Enclosure) and enjoy a variety of hikes and bush walks around Aotearoa/New Zealand's largest pest proof fenced eco-sanctuary. Take a guided walking tour to truly appreciate what predator free New Zealand will be like.
We have so many experiences that we want to share with you! Go on a treasure hunt, learn about herbal medicine, ramble the rātā (loop) track, meditate, connect with the wonders of our ancient ngahere (forest). If you want to spot a takahe or a tuatara then come and join one of our guided tours in the Tautari wetlands and tuatarium.
