About ZEALANDIA by Day Guided Experience

Step into the heart of Wellington's wildlife at Zealandia, New Zealand's first fully fenced ecosanctuary. This guided 2-hour tour offers an intimate encounter with rare native species, including the iconic kiwi, against a backdrop of stunning native bush and rolling hills.

Local Legends & Stories

Zealandia sits on the traditional lands of Te Āti Awa and Ngāti Toa Rangatira, who have deep spiritual connections to this area. The name 'Zealandia' honours both the Māori concept of the land as a living entity and New Zealand's Dutch roots.

Must Do Experiences

  • Join the guided 2-hour walking tour through the sanctuary's boardwalks and trails

  • Spot the elusive nocturnal kiwi during the day-time presentation

  • Walk the iconic Tongarewa Track for panoramic views of Wellington Harbour

  • Listen to the calls of tīeke (saddleback) echoing through the forest canopy

Hidden Gems

  • Arrive early to explore the sanctuary's trails before your guided tour begins

  • Visit the Mihi Whakatau (Welcome) meeting house to learn about Māori connection to the land

  • The predator-free zone means you can hear the forest come alive with bird song — don't miss the saddleback's distinctive whistling call

What Makes it Special

  • One of the few places in the world where you can see multiple native species in a restored natural habitat

  • Small group sizes of up to 10 people ensure an intimate and personalised experience

  • The sanctuary's 1,250-acre predator-free enclosure is home to some of New Zealand's most threatened species

Available Facilities

Gift shop café wheelchair-accessible boardwalks guided tours picnic areas parking toilets
