Karori Wildlife Sanctuary

What an amazing place! It should be on every Wellington must-see list. We saw so many rare birds, it was very exciting. The tours of the sanctuary are definitely worth it.

meaning to go here, today I did!

We loved it so much that we joined up as members and now we can go back whenever & not have to pay.

We got a couples membership for $57 & single is $42. I cannot remember how much a family one is…

It’s truly an amazing place, so many beautiful birds & creatures to see as well as the scenery. There are lots of walks to take & we only finished one today, you could absolutely spend a whole day there, we only spent the afternoon & could have stayed so much longer!

They are doing amazing things for protecting our native flora & fauna, so go see!

Just a 15 minute bus ride outside the city center will get you to a completely different universe, practically. Everyone who visits Wellington should absolutely take a day hike here. It’s mainly a wildlife sanctuary for rarer birds, although it’s also one of the most amazing, lush parks you’ll ever encounter in the world.
