Private Birdwatching & Waterfalls Tour from Auckland

Experience the natural beauty surrounding Auckland on this full-day private tour combining coastal wildlife and native forest scenery. Begin with expert-led birdwatching at Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre, one of New Zealand’s most important migratory shorebird habitats. Timed around the tides, this visit offers outstanding opportunities to observe thousands of birds travelling from Alaska and Siberia each year.

Following a relaxed lunch at a local café, continue to the lush trails of Hunua Ranges Regional Park for a guided bush walk through towering native forest. Scenic tracks lead to impressive waterfalls, including the striking Hunua Falls. This eight-hour private experience is ideal for nature enthusiasts seeking a distinctive day trip from Auckland.
