The experience

Our Private Waiheke Birding Tour offers you the opportunity to delight in the birdsong on magical Waiheke Island, one of NZ’s best birding destinations.

Waiheke is increasingly a bird lover’s paradise thanks to our extensive reforestation and government-funded predator-free Waiheke project, Te Korowai O Waiheke.

Join us to discover seabirds, shorebirds as well as birds of the forest in our regional park. Spot all the major species that make their home here whilst learning about our conservation efforts, their habitat and what makes these species special.
