Pekepeka at Point View

Come along to a free guided bat walk!

Come and join a free guided bat walk at Point View Reserve, Howick, as we explore the hidden nocturnal world of our wonderful native bats (pekāpēka)! Using bat detectors and the fading light of dusk, our experienced guides will help you listen for bat calls and learn how these amazing animals use echolocation to navigate and hunt. This is a family-friendly nature experience designed for all ages.
