Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers LIVE Tribute Show - The Butter Factory, 8 Butter Factory Lane Whangarei
Step back into the golden age of grunge and alt-rock: A Tribute to NIRVANA, PEARL JAM & RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. This electrifying show is a raw, nostalgic journey through the sounds that defined a generation. From the angst-fueled anthems of Nirvana, to the soul-searching melodies of Pearl Jam, and the funk-infused energy of the Red Hot Chili Peppers – this is a faithful homage to the ‘90s legends. Relive the flannel-soaked days of MTV Unplugged, mosh pits, and mixtapes — one unforgettable riff at a time.

A Night in the Forest - Guided Tour - Brook Waimārama Sanctuary, Nelson
Discover the magic of the ngahere at night on this unforgettable 75-minute guided experience.
Your journey begins at the Sanctuary Visitor Centre for a briefing and introduction about the sanctuary and the mahi. Our friendly, knowledgeable guides will welcome you, introduce the Sanctuary, and then lead you deep into the forest. Under the cover of darkness you’ll walk under towering trees, hear the rustling of nocturnal wildlife, and feel the forest awaken. Listen for the haunting call of ruru — and if you’re lucky, the call of kiwi pukupuku. Along the way, you’ll encounter the magical bioluminescent glow of our resident glowworms — a truly enchanting sight!
