90-minute Twilight Kiwi Encounter at Ngā Manu Nature Reserve

Book up until 30 September 2025

801 reviews from Google

Step inside a serene enclosure at Ngā Manu Reserve to get up close and personal with New Zealand’s native treasure, the Kiwi. The tiny flightless and adorably fluffy birds emerge at twilight, completely unbothered by the spectators around them. Sitting in silence for 90 minutes, you’ll reconnect with nature as distant calls of other native birds fill the air and playful Rūrū (owls) flit about. It’s a quintessential New Zealand experience for the whole family to enjoy.
