Karori Wildlife Sanctuary (Zealandia)
About
Karori Wildlife Sanctuary (Zealandia), end of Waiapu Rd, (first left after the Karori Tunnel), [12]. Daily 10AM-5PM (last entry 4PM), closed 25 Dec. A predator-proof fence encloses an old water catchment area, forming a mainland island that provides a natural haven for endangered native birds, tuatara, wētā, and other indigenous flora and fauna, safe from introduced predators. By far the most convenient place in the country to see rare New Zealand wildlife. $18.50, child $9, more for guided tours.
