What you can expect
Step into a world of natural wonders with a guided tour of Pukekawa, Auckland’s oldest park, set atop a 100,000-year-old volcanic landscape. For an hour, your knowledgeable guide will lead you through palm groves, past hidden waterfalls, and into forest trails where you can witness the blue-green glow of New Zealand’s famous glowworms. While smaller in number than at other locations, these glowworms offer a crowd-free encounter right in the heart of Auckland, without long travel times and high entry fees.
Get up close to the glowworms and learn about their fascinating life cycle, from their sticky silk threads to their short adult stage. Discover why their light glows, how they catch their prey, and even some surprising facts about their behaviour. This one-hour guided experience is the perfect blend of city convenience and magical nature, making it a must-do for all locals and visitors.
