Very informative - facts in almost every sentence , excellent visual aids, got to see kiwis and the care of eggs and chicks until their release. A very professional tour.

The guide was excellent - she was knowledgeable and personable. We learnt a little from her.

Very good visit, we were able to observe the Kiwis in the enclosure, it was magical

Seeing and hearing about kiwi, I was lucky enough to see 7 kiwis

Great tour, very informative. Special mention for our guide!
