What you can expect

  • Meet your guide and begin your tour of the Ngā Manu Nature Reserve. Observe the iconic kiwi in the Nocturnal House. Learn about their nocturnal behaviour, unique adaptations, and the conservation work helping to protect them across New Zealand.

    Encounter the remarkable tuatara, a living relic from the age of dinosaurs. Discover how this ancient reptile has survived virtually unchanged for millions of years, and why it remains a vital part of Aotearoa’s biodiversity storey.

    Explore the world of tuna (freshwater eels), including both shortfin and endangered longfin species. Learn about their extraordinary life cycle, cultural significance, and the ecological importance of healthy freshwater habitats.

    Unlike close-contact encounters, this tour focuses on observation, learning, and connection, offering a calm and enriching way to experience Ngā Manu’s conservation work.

    Entry to the reserve is included, so you’re welcome to explore further before or after your tour.
