"This was the most wonderful tour and I can not rave about it enough. We were guided through the sanctuary by a very knowledgeable staff who pointed out numerous birds and plant species and explained about the ecology and history of the area. The land is strikingly beautiful and the vision and dedication to create a natural habitat teaming with the creatures native to New Zealand is very inspirational." - ZEALANDIA By Day review by Yvette, via Trip Advisor
