Be captivated by nature on this trek through one of Wellington’s best-kept secrets, Ōtari-Wilton's Bush. Your expert guide will recount stories of this area's growth from its original 7 hectares to over 100 hectares of native New Zealand forest, along with 5 hectares dedicated to plant species from across the country. Have the opportunity to encounter an abundance of native bird species such as Kaka, Kereru, Tui, and Piwakaawaka (fantails), which have made a remarkable recovery from near extinction in the last 25 years due to local conservation efforts. Rare and unique tree and plant species, like the Three Kings Kaikomako—a tree propagated from NZ’s “loneliest tree” with only one remaining when discovered in the 1940s—are also sure to impress. And that's all before you gaze upon a true ancient wonder—the giant Rimu tree, estimated to be at least 800 years old, located at the heart of Wellington's oldest forest.
