Habitat tours

Habitat Tours Bird watching and nature day tours from Auckland are the specialty of Habitat Tours taking small group tours to Tawharanui, a "mainland island", and the Waitakere Ranges. Tawharanui is a significant conservation success story with 18 endemic birds, many endangered, being reintroduced in addition to the many more endemic and native birds that are now thriving and breeding. Habitat Tours offer two tours to Tawharanui, a full day tour and a day/night tour where guests have the opportunity to see some of New Zealand's nocturnal birdlife including the North Island kiwi, morepork and pateke (brown teal). Personalised tours are available on request. The Waitakere Ranges tour, although not as prolific with bird life, gives the visitor some different opportunities for the bird watcher with tomtits, sulphur crested cockatoo and pipit among some of the bird life. In addition to our guided tours we provide our guests with delicious homemade picnic lunches and dinners.

Note:  Seeing some bird species listed below depend on tour location choice.
