Summertime in the sanctuary

Summer at Zealandia is the perfect time to unplug, explore, and spend quality time with friends and whānau. With a variety of family-friendly activities, from nature walks to yoga in the sanctuary, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Want to get away from the crowds on busy days? Grab one of our maps for the upper valley from the front desk and see what you can find beyond the top dam. You might spot some hihi at the feeders, one of the takahē roaming in the forest or some native fish swimming in the streams.  

If you are looking for a way to entertain guests this summer, a Zealandia By Day tour is a great way for them to get to know New Zealand’s rare and unique wildlife. As a member, you receive an exclusive 50% discount on your tour, making it the perfect way to share the magic of New Zealand’s native wildlife with visiting friends and relatives. To make your visit even easier, we’re offering additional tour departures throughout January.
