Overview

The Kiwi is one of New Zealand's national icons. The two kiwi on this tour are part of the NZ North Island Brown Kiwi Breeding Recovery Program. The kiwi are in their own private natural habitat, away from the public. They share this with two morepork (brown owl).
This kiwi tour is an incredibly intimate experience, in groups of up to 10 people, the experience offers you an up-close advantage of the ever-elusive kiwi in its natural habitat. Private tours also available, for bigger groups we do waves of 10 people at a time.
