Save 20% off ALL tours: Discover a Different Side of Auckland. Social Nature Movement creates immersive, nature-based experiences designed to connect travellers with the people, landscapes, wildlife, and stories that make Aotearoa New Zealand unique. We go beyond traditional sightseeing, giving guests the opportunity to explore, learn, and experience Auckland’s natural environment in a more personal and memorable way. Our experiences are led by passionate and knowledgeable local guides who bring together adventure, conservation, culture, and storytelling. Whether you’re travelling solo, with friends, or as part of a group, our tours are designed to create genuine moments of connection and unforgettable memories.
Our Bioluminescence Kayak Tour takes guests onto the water after dark to experience the natural glow of bioluminescent marine life. Paddling through Auckland’s coastal waters as microscopic organisms illuminate around the kayak offers a truly unique night-time adventure.
For wildlife lovers, our Kiwi Spotting Tour heads north to the protected Tāwharanui Regional Park, where guests have the opportunity to explore a thriving conservation environment and search for New Zealand’s most iconic native birds ‘the Kiwi’. The experience combines nature, conservation, night-time exploration, and the stories of the landscape.
Closer to the heart of Auckland, our Inner City Glowworm Tour reveals a hidden natural wonder within the city. Guests leave the urban environment behind for a short guided journey into nature, where they can discover New Zealand’s fascinating glowworms and learn about the ecology and history of the surrounding landscape. At Social Nature Movement, we believe every outing should be about more than simply seeing a destination.
Our experiences are about slowing down, getting outdoors, discovering something new, and creating a deeper connection with the natural world. From glowing waters and hidden glowworms to encounters with native wildlife, we invite travellers to experience Auckland from a different perspective.
