Falcons, Morepork & more!

A bird park that is dedicated to preserving the native species of New Zealand. Make sure you time your drive to coincide with the Falcon shows - their flight skills are amazing! Help support this park's conservation message!

Pure magic in these bird of pray

I love this place it's really something very special to connect with nature and birds of pray so closely. I would highly reamend it for young people to see the beauty and be able to understand it. Magic!

Big Trees

Not as big as California but the redwoods here are still impressive. It's possible to drive through or explore by foot.
