Zealandia by Day - Small Group 2-Hour Eco Wildlife Tour

Danica_G, Mar 2026

Amazing experience and guide!

My friend and I had such an amazing time at Zealandia! Our guide, Ashley, was such a sweet and passionate woman and we absolutely loved her. It was so interesting to learn about how the wildlife of NZ evolved and was destroyed and how volunteers like those who run Zealandia are so dedicated to restoring it. We also got to see some amazing birds! The kaka parrots were out in force and we saw loads, they're not shy of people! We also saw quail, tuis, a wood pigeon, a robin, a shag and my personal favourite, fantails! Also plenty of adorable tuatara lizards! Definitely an experience I would recommend, especially as all your money goes directly to the important conservation work.
