The Native Bird Close Encounter is a fun, interactive experience that brings visitors face-to-face with some of Aotearoa's most charismatic native birds. It also provides fantastic photo opportunities!

Our knowledgeable Rangers deliver this behind-the-scenes encounter with species such as kea, kākā and kākāriki to learn about their unique behaviours and discover the conservation work helping protect them for future generations.

The perfect gift for anyone 7+ years of age. Your gift card includes admission to the reserve for further exploration.
