I am a member so I can visit anytime and walk which is always lovely - but a few nights ago did the night tour. We saw 3 kiwis which was fabulous ... one even falling off a bank right next to us - hilarious... plus an eel, gerkin slug, Maude island frog, Pateke (rare as anything duck), shags, kaka, tuatara, glow worms- was wonderful quietly walking through the bush in the dark and only 3 of us on the tour so we saw so much.. completely worth it - will do again and again to visit the kiwis.

A Night to Remember at Zealandia
We had an absolutely fantastic Zealandia by Night experience on Monday and couldn't recommend it highly enough to fellow nature lovers.
Our guide, Ash, was incredible. Her storytelling ability is second to none, bringing the history and wildlife of Zealandia to life, while her knowledge of the sanctuary's fauna was genuinely mind-blowing.
We were incredibly fortunate with our sightings, including a male little spotted kiwi busily foraging for bugs, a baby tuatara, and a fully grown female giant wētā, along with plenty of other fascinating nocturnal creatures.
The evening began with a highly engaging and informative presentation in the Visitor Centre, including a captivating film exploring the natural history of Aotearoa New Zealand. The tour itself was beautifully paced and packed with fascinating insights, and it concluded perfectly with a freshly brewed pot of kawakawa tea.
A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone who loves New Zealand's wildlife and wants to experience the ngahere after dark!

Night visit
We did the night tour and struck very lucky as we saw three kiwis. Group size was small but some annoying tourists who continued to use flash when told not to so spoiled part of the experience. Dress warm!

Kia ora,
We're so happy you got lucky and saw so many kiwi! We have a 'no flash' photography rule for the wellbeing of the creatures that call the valley home. We'll pass this feedback on to our tour guides!

Amazing experience that should be done
This was a fantastic experience, and we really enjoyed doing the tour at night. All I wanted to see was a kiwi, and I did, so I was thrilled! However, when the tour finished and we were told how many kiwis were in the area, we were surprised that we didn't see more.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the headsets were an excellent addition. They meant everyone could clearly hear the commentary regardless of where they were in the group.
Our only criticism was that we felt the group size was a little too large. We missed seeing the second kiwi, and my husband wasn't able to get a clear view of the takahē because there were too many people gathered around and he couldn't get to the front in time.
An added bonus was that the ticket also allowed entry the following day. Unfortunately, our travel plans meant we were leaving Wellington, so we weren't able to take advantage of this. Had we known about this benefit in advance, we would have adjusted our plans to make the most of it.

The night tours are fantastic, while there are around 250 kiwi pukupuku around, the valley is 225 hectares and the animals are wild, sometimes they just don't feel as energetic. We will pass on your feedback about tour sizes and next day entry to our tours team!

Great Activity
Such an informative, fun and healthy activity. It was a cold wettish night but as long as you are dressed for the conditions, it was quite comfortable and pleasant. We saw plenty of nighttime activity and the guide along with a volunteer spotter of wildlife were great. Highly recommend.
