Rainbow Springs & Kiwi Encounter

Rainbow Springs & Kiwi Encounter

Get to know New Zealand's shy, nocturnal national icon in this endearing experience. A must for all the family. 


Head to Rainbow Springs. Take in the native bush, ferns, trees and plants that grow and flower all around you as you wander through the tree lined pathways. Enjoy the tranquility of the crystal clear mineral water that flows tirelessly from the subterranean springs throughout the park. Marvel at the silent grace of the magnificent specimens of trout and feed them as they cruise the fern-fringed pools. Hear the bustling bush wildlife, and meet the curious species of native birds on display. 

There is also an opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Kiwi conservation in action. Four different areas within the building are linked together to form a superb attraction based completely on Kiwi conservation. The proceeds from your entrance ticket go directly towards continuing the conservation work and enable us to continue growing the numbers of Kiwi eggs we are able to hatch and raise each year on-site at Kiwi Encounter. Get up close to Kiwi in our open nocturnal house - there is no glass here, and you are able to watch Kiwi as they forage for food in an enclosure that is as similar to their natural environment as possible.
