Our visit to the Kiwi hatchery was fascinating. We were so excited to have the opportunity to see kiwis in their natural habitats and learn about the hatching program. To learn about the threats to the kiwi bird and how they produce their young was very interesting. We look forward to exploring how we can further support this wonderful program and helping to grow the kiwi population.

Best place to see kiwis closely, and your ticket payment contribute to the protection of the beautiful birds!
This is such a worth going place in Rotorua. Honestly at first I didn’t know there is this place with a tour because I asked Gemini to help to schedule a 4 day trip in Rotorua and Gemini didn’t mention about this place at all. I accidentally heard about the hatchery from one of the day tour guides. Please book your ticket online in advance because the tour does sell out most of the time. The tour is almost 2 hours long, the guide will explain everything about kiwi bird and the situation they face. We got to visit grownup kiwis who can not be released into the wild anymore in their close to natural habitat enclosure, visited kiwis who were just out of their eggs in the same morning, and kiwi babies who were still nursed until they grow big enough to defend themselves in the wild.

Not to be missed
Fantastic day out. The guide was superb.
Only downside was the speed that the minibus went over speed humps.

An Amazing Team Behind New Zealand’s Iconic Kiwi
The National Kiwi Hatchery was a very cool place to visit. The scientists and guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and I was amazed by the many roles they take on each day. From driving the buses and leading engaging tours to conducting all the critical kiwi conservation research and even running the gift shop, their dedication was evident everywhere. Their passion for protecting New Zealand’s iconic kiwi and sharing that work with visitors made the experience both informative and inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper appreciation of kiwi conservation.
