Blaze JamesMarch 16, 2017One of the best nature experiences! I went early and I had almost the entire park for myself. I easily spent 3 hours there, by doing some of the extra walks.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
InterContinental Hotels & ResortsMay 1, 2013Take a walk to ZEALANDIA Wildlife Sanctuary. The scenery is beautiful; like being in a secluded forest.... and if you take the dusk tour, you might even see the nocturnal kiwi in native habitat. Read more
T.April 22, 2016Amazing place. Lots of birds, rare ones too! But it is not a zoo, which is great. The whole area is under protection and they are trying restore it in to a state it was before humans came to NZ.
Sara TaylorOctober 3, 2018Beautiful place to wander but recommend going on a tour if you’d like some direction. Could absolutely spend the entire day there. Free shuttle departs from the top of the cable car.- AlexanderSeptember 20, 2016Zealandia by Night was an awesome and very informative tour with many wildlife sightings. Just seeing Kiwi birds isn't guaranteed.
Andrew McKenzieFebruary 1, 2017A giant predator-free fenced off nature reserve full of rare native creatures (kiwi, weta, tuatara, takahe) running amock.

- Lorena VilelaNovember 22, 2013Wonderful park to relax and do some exercise breathing pure air and listening songs from the birds. Much better in case of good weather.
Leonard LinMay 8, 2015There are free tours (about 15min in) at 11:15 and 13:15 that are quite informative.
Gary ChisholmJanuary 30, 2014Don't miss this place if you're I'm Wellington. Really get into nature on some amazing walks.
Don't be afraid to talk to the staff along the tracks. They point out cool and interesting stuff.
Melissa ProulxJanuary 31, 2011If you see a little robin looking at you, scratch the ground for him. He will eat the little bugs on the surface!
- If you are coming to Wellington you need to put this on list of to-dos. Especially if you have kids
