Kiwi Encounter offers unique behind-the-scenes tours of a working kiwi nursery and hatchery. Eggs are brought to us from the wild and when they have hatched, and the kiwis are large enough to protect themselves from predators, they are released back into the wild.
During the tour you will see each of the stages a kiwi chick goes through before being released in to the wild – incubation, hatching and raising.
Kiwi Encounter Behind the Scenes tours operate daily on the hour between 10.00am and 4.00pm.
