Tour guide Harley was super passionate about teaching us about kiwis and why they’re so deeply treasured and protected. Overall, this tour was fun and informative!! A must-have experience

So glad we got to visit and learn about these interesting birds, their predators, their protectors and see a hatchling.

Such an interesting trip. We learned so much about Kiwi’s, and we’re really surprised that they are such angry little birds. Highlight was seeing 2 babies born the morning of our tour. The woman that did our tour was really knowledgeable, fun, and passionate about their cause. Only downside, I wish our tour had been longer, especially in the nocturnal house

We had such an amazing visit. You’ll need to book in advance as places are limited. The tour takes you on a 5 minute minibus ride across the site (boosters provided for kids). Caitlin our guide was really fantastic, and great at answering the kids questions too (and very patient!). We saw three kiwi in their huge enclosures, as well as two babies having health checks and one under a heat lamp. The gift shop was great, some really lovely items. Highly recommend this tour, the children (age 2 1/2 and 7) both loved it
