This was our third visit to Zealandia in two years and we cannot say enough good about the park, the team and the unbelievable progress that has been made for the benefit of endemic plants, animalia and birds in just 30+ years. This time we added the night tour to our bucket list, and while fleeting, did see the little Spotted Kiwi feeding. This is a must-do for all Welly visitors! Craig and T

We really enjoyed the evening! This was the one place in New Zealand where we actually got to see kiwis in their natural environment. We actually saw three kiwis while there as well as multiple tuatare, tuis and some swags/cormorants.

We booked this tour because we wanted the chance to see a kiwi and it did not disappoint! We were lucky enough to see a kiwi at the beginning of our tour in its entirety, and then two additional times we got to see one from farther away. We also saw tuataras, three frogs, all three types of Weta, Tui, Kaka, and more! We didn't have a rental car so were nervous on how it would turn out at the end of the tour with being able to get an uber back into town late in the evening, but luckily we had no issue getting an uber to pick us up. This was by far our favorite part of our trip to New Zealand.

Chose the night tour in Zealandia because I was specifically hoping to see Kiwis, Tuataras and maybe a Ruru, and was lucky on most accounts. A dozen Tuataras, and one very patient Ruru close up! Frogs and glowworms were a nice extra treat. We did see Kiwis from afar, but sadly they were rather hidden in the bushes and our group didn't get the clearest view, but oh well, they're wild animals, so you can't always get what you want. It was still worth it! The provided headsets worked very well, so our guide could keep his voice low while speaking straight for the entirety of the two-hour walk. It felt very educational, and I admire Zealandia's mission and dedication!

We had a great Night Tour lead by John, aided by Glenda the scout! We saw and heard Tui, Kaka (bush parrots) and Ruru (morepork), and saw Pied Shags, Diving Ducks, Paradise Ducks, Kiwi, Giant Weta, Cave Weta, the amazing Tuatara and lots of Glow Worms. Hamilton's Frogs were a no-show! The introductory film on the big wide screen is still giving me goosebumps just thinking about it. Incredibly moving imagery, packing a long and complex story into just a few short minutes. Definitely worth a visit!

We had a perfectly guided night tour through Zealandia. Our guide gave us a lot of information and enough time to listen, explore and discover everything. And what shall I say: We saw a lot of Tuataras, Wetas, Glowworms, 2 Hamilton frogs and tatata 3 Kiwis, one of them a young one! It was a perfect Nighttour and we can highly recommend it! Nothing can compare with the magic of nature!

Discovering and being told about local birds, insects, kiwifruit and plants - the night hike really makes you want more

It had rained most of the afternoon on the day we visited so maybe that was why many birds were absent. Sadly, no kiwis were seen. We saw cormorants, diving ducks, tuatara, tree wētā, gherkin slugs, glow worms, banded kokopu fish and another tiny minnow like fish. Guides were exceedingly enthusiastic about their work and passionate about the Zealandia programme. A very pleasant and informative evening.

The night tour was amazing. Our guide Matt was professional and enthusiastic and our wildlife spotter (I’m so sorry I’ve forgotten her name) was a pro at finding even some of the quite rare critters. It was a unique experience for sure, and the tour ticket included admission for the next day, so we came back to walk around and saw different birds than the night before. It’s really cool to have such a large eco sanctuary so close to the city, and we would happily go back again and again!
