We took the free bus from Wakefield St(15 mins) and pre-booked our tour with Manuela. Excellent guide pointing out birds, bugs and trees/ plants. Also delicious lunch and coffee in the cafe and bus back to town. Tickets valid for 2 days too. This is the garden of Eden.

Beautiful Nature and inspiring Consevation
The guided tour at Zealandia was a wonderful experience and very interesting for me. We walked along beautiful paths through this unique sanctuary, and I was especially delighted to discover tuatara as well as the many different protected native bird species.
Our guide explained everything very clearly and shared many interesting stories and insights, which made the tour even more enjoyable.
I was truly impressed by Zealandia and by the whole conservation project. It is inspiring to see what has been achieved here to protect and restore New Zealand’s native wildlife. I highly recommend taking a guided tour – it made my visit even more special.

One activity not to miss when visiting Windy Wellington.
Our guide Roy was amazing. Knowledgeable and didn’t watch the clock at all. Spend extra time trying to find animals for us to see. Very good experience. I’ll go back at the nighttime to see a different nocturnal world next time.

Beautiful Place to Explore
We booked the first tour of the day and spent two hours with our guide exploring this beautiful sanctuary. Great for anyone who wants to learn about wildlife, and you're able to explore after your tour as well! It was so great to see rare wildlife and learn about the history of the area as well.
We took the cable car up to Kelburn Terminal but decided to walk the 30 mins to the sanctuary, taking the free shuttle back to Kelburn Terminal after the tour.

Beautiful sanctuary and renewal of the natural environment and endangered species
What an Incredible experience.
The tireless work that Zealanida, the amazing staff and volunteers are doing for this beautiful sanctuary is beyond words it's really extraordinary and so worth a visit.
The first of its kind in the world and and book a private tour so that you get the Indepth information about it all.
Johnny was such a great and enthusiastic guide.
We can't wait to go back.

Take the tour - you won’t regret it!
Our shuttle bus driver recommended the 2 hour guided tour at Zealandia and we were so pleased we did! Our guide was knowledgeable and realistic about what we may see on the tour and even she said we exceeded expectations in hearing and viewing so many of the birds and mini ecosystems along the way. It was a very easy 2 hour walk and extremely enjoyable . Well worth the $70 which included the $31 entry fee. The tour definitely enhanced our experience!

Fantastic visit
A fantastic visit. Really lovely to walk through the rainforest, hear about the conservation work done there, spot and hear the different birds/wildlife. There is a free shuttle to Zealandia (approx 15 mins) from the top of the cable car - when booking your tour time, check the times of the shuttle as it takes an hour off for lunch during the day

Reserve for wildlife in a city
We were on a 2 month tour, and visiting many national parks, sanctuaries and reserves. We booked the tour thinking it would give us more insight into the animals but unfortunately we were disappointed. Our guide was new, and somewhat knowledgable about plant life. We did not see that many birds. For us just wandering around would have been better. I think for children it may be a nice reserve for wildlife in a city.
I did try to do an early morning tour with a private guide but with cruise ships arriving, there were none available.
