See conservation in action at the most successful kiwi hatchery in the world!

The National Kiwi Hatchery is the national leader in kiwi husbandry, egg incubation systems, hatching techniques and kiwi chick rearing. During your guided tour of the National Kiwi Hatchery you’ll get to learn about New Zealand's renowned kiwi conservation program which has successfully hatched over 2,500 kiwi chicks. You’ll get to explore the interactive kiwi burrow, learn about egg incubation and hatching techniques. And see kiwi roam and forage in the Nocturnal House.

An educational, thought-provoking and truly unique experience, you'll get to see how we're helping kiwi at the largest and most successful kiwi hatchery in the world.

You cannot take photos of the live kiwis. But it was lovely to see them. There is video footage of them as you are taken through the tour that you can copy
Hatchery is great but Viator could add more information about the Agrodome

The hatchery is a great place to learn about kiwis and actually see them. I just wish Viator had given more information about the Agrodome as we could have spent several more hours there, but we had booked another tour right after the hatchery. It would have been nice to know about this.
An experience I’ll never forget.

So educational and interesting to learn all about the kiwi hatchery process and research, we loved our visit. We were so fortunate to see baby kiwis!
