Dark Sky Stargazing and Glamping at Tawharanui
Embark on an unforgettable adventure into the nocturnal world of Tawharanui Regional Park. This guided tour offers you the rare opportunity to spot the elusive North Island brown kiwi in its natural habitat while soaking in the beauty of the night sky. With minimal light pollution, the park is ideal for stargazing, where you can marvel at the brilliance of thousands of stars, planets, and celestial phenomena.
As night falls, Tawharanui's native species come to life, making it the perfect time to observe nocturnal creatures. From kiwi to other night-dwelling birds, insects, and reptiles, you'll experience a side of the park few get to see. The beaches are especially magical, with bioluminescent plankton illuminating the waves with a natural blue-green glow, creating a mesmerizing spectacle you won't soon forget.
