This small-group walking tour takes about 2 hours through Zealandia, an eco-sanctuary in Wellington dedicated to native New Zealand wildlife and conservation. You meet your guide at the Visitors Centre ticket desk, where the tour starts with a briefing and a short film explaining the sanctuary’s conservation efforts. Then you’ll walk several trails within the sanctuary, with your guide sharing detailed information about the wildlife and the ongoing restoration work. Along the way, you’ll have chances to see native birds such as kākā (bush parrots), kakariki, tūī, bellbirds, and possibly the critically endangered takahē, saddleback (tīeke), and hihi. Reptiles like tuatara and green geckos may also be spotted. Feeding stations along the paths attract many birds, and the scenery offers good photo opportunities. The tour is led by a professional guide and runs in all weather conditions. No food, drinks, or hotel transfers are included. Alcoholic beverages can be purchased separately at the sanctuary.
