Ecosystems are complex and require many steps to ensure the safety and longevity of each species. Whilst the flightless Buff Weka thrive on the predator-free island of Mou Waho foraging on the forest floor, the nocturnal Weta find themselves in need of more daytime sanctuarys. This is where our Weta motels come in to play. Built by students from Mt Aspiring College, they give the Mountain Stone Weta a safe place to shelter during the warm, daylight hours when the birds are foraging. Our guides will show you where to spot these motels on your tour & hopefully there are a few weta checked-in!

The bell birds are singing on Mou Waho! Head to the island and listen to the Korimako as they sing & flit between the trees. By feeding on the fruits, the bell birds have a role in dispersing the seeds, and assisting in the regeneration of the forest. Learn more about the birdsong on the island by reading our latest blog (link in our bio🧷) Or join us on one of our trips to the island this autumn! 🌸🌱🍒🎶
