Rotorua: The National Kiwi Hatchery Kiwi Encounter Tour

Learn about New Zealand’s national icon at the world’s leading kiwi hatchery in Rotorua on a guided encounter, discovering conservation efforts and seeing live kiwi in a purpose‑built nocturnal house

This nature-focused experience is built around observing wildlife or exploring protected habitat with guidance from people who know the local environment. The scenery remains an important part of the outing even when wildlife is less active.

• Local interpretation about habitat and behaviour
• A strong option for nature-focused travellers
