Escape the city for a private afternoon tour from Auckland to the creative and wild heart of Matakana, where art, nature, and native wildlife come together. Wander through the Sculptureum’s captivating sculpture gardens, explore boutique galleries and gift stores in Matakana Village, and enjoy a relaxed dinner featuring fresh, locally sourced cuisine by the river. As evening falls, venture into the Tāwharanui Open Sanctuary on a guided night walk through native bushland, where you'll listen for the haunting calls of New Zealand’s iconic kiwi and possibly spot one in the wild. This rare Matakana experience combines art, food, and kiwi bird watching in one unforgettable twilight journey.
