A Global phenomenon: The Future is Wild™

With an original concept that fuses science, entertainment, and education, FIW continues to captivate audiences through television, literature, educa-tion, and technology. Its esteemed reputation is endorsed by its global presence and its translation into 30 languages, amassing a worldwide audience of over 1 billion viewers.
A Transformative experience: The Hillocks
Central to our venture is The Hillocks, an idyllic landscape in Glenorchy, New Zealand, where nature’s beauty converges with cuttingedge AR and VR technology. By crafting an immersive journey through time, we bring evolution, adaptation, and climate change to life. Visitors traverse an elevated wooden trail, interacting with past and present fauna and flora through realistic AR and VR experiences.
Strategic partnerships and forward planning
Our path forward is paved by strategic partnerships and meticulous planning. We’ve secured exclusive rights to FIW’s intellectual property for New Zealand and Australia, while simultaneously establishing a global presence. Collaborations with visionary minds, including WildLab, BurningFish Productions and Ministry XR, solidify our commitment to innovation and immersive technology.
Cultural integration and sustainability
Our dedication to responsible development extends to cultural integration and environmental stewardship. With the expertise of Te Tapu O Tane, we’re forging a respectful partnership with Ngai Tahu, honouring Māori values in our journey. Additionally, environmental assessments and compliance with regulatory requirements ensure a harmonious blend of human interaction and natural preservation.
Future-proofing tourism
Through our innovative approach, “The Future is Wild @ The Hillocks” sets a new benchmark for sustainable tourism. By offering both virtual and physical exploration, we reduce our carbon footprint while broadening accessibility. Our vision aligns with government objectives and supports carbon neutrality.
