Your ‘real’ kiwi Christmas party

A Christmas party with a difference – a real kiwi

Enjoy one of the famous Ngā Manu Kiwi Night Encounters at your end of year Christmas party. Give your team a Christmas party with a difference which makes a difference, and at the same time experience an unforgettable close-up encounter with kiwi. Our Kiwi Night Encounter Christmas party package is for you.

We are offering a combined package of exclusive hire of our event and function center (Robin’s Nest) and exclusive access to the entire Ngā Manu Nature Reserve, combined with a Kiwi Night Encounter tour.

There will be opportunity to learn about kiwi and Ngā Manu’s involvement in the national captive programme before entering their outdoor enclosure. In groups of up to 10 people at a time, from the covered observation area, your group will be mesmerized for up to 20 minutes by the interactions and feeding behaviour of kiwi.
