Overview

Escape the city and explore New Zealand’s natural wonders on this private tour featuring birdwatching, scenic hiking, and stunning waterfalls.

Start with a private pickup in Auckland and travel southeast to Pūkorokoro Miranda Wildlife Reserve. Join a guided tour with a bird expert to learn about the amazing migration of shorebirds from Alaska and Siberia, and see them thriving in their coastal habitat.

After a morning of discovery, enjoy lunch at a local café serving fresh regional dishes.

In the afternoon, visit Hunua Ranges Regional Park. Hike through native forest alive with birdsong and end at the dramatic Hunua Falls, where water tumbles over volcanic rock into a clear pool—a perfect place to relax.

Ideal for nature lovers and birdwatchers, this personalised tour offers comfort and flexibility to experience Aotearoa’s wild beauty at your own pace.
