Best place to see Kiwi

Up Close and Active

 

When our kiwi are younger, we display them in specially designed nocturnal enclosures where the day and night cycles have been reversed.

 

 

Visitors to the park can see these young kiwi during the day carrying out their normal kiwi behaviour such as probing for insects and earthworms in the soil, bathing in the ponds, and digging burrows or climbing logs. The enclosures have native plants, leaf litter, soil and logs that host a wide range of invertebrates and fruits which make up the majority of the kiwi diet

WHAT OUR VISITORS SAY

Up close and personal, that's the best I can say. If you really want to see a Kiwi bird up and active, this is the place. They do regular feedings about every 2 hours. And it's incredibly entertaining to watch the female large spotted one defend her turf "against" the worker who goes in to feed her and stir things up a bit. I can't imagine that you would regret it at all.
