North Island
Zealandia: the Karori Sanctuary Experience, located just 10 minutes from the city of Wellington, is home to some of the country’s rarest and most endangered wildlife including kiwis and parrots. A night safari is highly recommended, when the native bush comes alive with the calls of nocturnal birds.
You can also visit the largest and most accessible gannet colony in the world at Cape Kidnappers and be amazed at their antics as they preen, nest, fly and perform the famous ‘dance of the gannets’.
