Booking a night walk is highly recommended! We went into the park together with 2 excellent guides and a group of just 8 people shortly after nightfall (just after the first morepork called). We ended up seeing 4 kiwi, some takahe and a lot of other native birds. The bird sounds were abundant. It's a very special place so close to a big city like Wellington. Highly recommended!

Hi Fiona. Thank you for your review, I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to Zealandia. Our eco-restoration programme is achieving great results returning the birdsong to Wellington and providing a vital lifeboat for our endangered species. By showing what difference the exclusion of mammalian predators makes on our native flora and fauna we’re helping to spread awareness of conservation and providing a wonderful place to explore, appreciate and treasure.Charging to enter Zealandia helps fund our conservation and education efforts, which do incur cost. We aim to be as accessible as possible - that’s why we also offer an annual membership programme which gives people unlimited access for a year, among other benefits. We also offer reduced prices for students and seniors, discounted entries at certain times of the year and join in with Wellington's annual "Open Day" so people can check out what we have to offer for just $2.

Thanks for the great review. We like to keep our Zealandia by Night guided tours small and friendly; it's lovely to hear you enjoyed sharing the nocturnal sights and sounds of the valley.

Brilliant! We saw so many beautiful birds out feeding and tuatara basking in the sun. The staff were very helpful, giving advice on which tracks would be best to use to see more birds.

We did this tour at night as Kiwi birds are nocturnal. The museum was interesting, but the best part is going into the sanctuary to see all the animals! We heard many birds and saw 2 Kiwis, a ton of lizards and parrots! It is really great to see what they are doing for these endangered animals!

This is a beautiful attempt to restore some of the endangered native birds and keep them free of predators. It is a nice undemanding walk but take time to seek out the birds and lizards. Also take time to look at the exhibition in the entry building. One possible complaint. It would have been nice to have a few iconic birds like the kiwi in a place where they could be viewed by visitors but I suppose that Zealand a is not about this

Hi Karen, thanks so much for the wonderful review. It sounds like you have annual membership and are making the most of it. I'm really glad to hear your family has found the mobility scooter so useful and that you've also encountered the valley wildlife at night. We really appreciate your ongoing support and hope you continue to enjoy the peaceful and restorative character of the sanctuary.

A great way to identify the birds of New Zealand by both sound and sight. The tracks around the sanctuary were beautifully laid out.... exploring in a forest. We saw a Tuatara (like a gecko), Kakas, Fantails, Saddlebacks ,Takahes, North Island robins and loads more. Brilliant!

Thanks for the great review. I'm glad you made it to the sanctuary and enjoyed your visit. We've recently made improvements to the cafe - it's the perfect place to relax after a walk :)

Tried to see some birds. Nice little hike but too pricey for what we didn't get to see. And if you want to see a kiwi you have to come back for a night tour which isn't guaranteed either. I'd say pass on this one.
