Amazing Experience!!!
Amy_S, Apr 2023
10/10 experience!!!! We were lucky and booked the 10am tour, which gave us a chance to see both a newly hatched baby kiwi, as well as a 16 day old kiwi that was brought out only during our visit for its health check of the day! Very informative and fun tour with a very friendly and fun guide. Definitely worth the entry fee, especially as a portion goes towards continuing their efforts of conservation.
Well run. Excellent...

Well run. Excellent staff. Very well informed and personable. It was wonderful to see the hatching eggs and new born chicks as well as adults.
