225 hectares of predator-free sanctuary, right in the city, home to over 40 native bird species — 24 of them found nowhere else on earth. Little spotted kiwi, takahē, kākā, and tuatara all thriving behind 8.6km of predator-proof fence. The night tour is next level: torchlight walks to spot tuatara, glowworms, cave wētā, and ruru after dark. A window into what Aotearoa looked like before humans arrived, and Wellington's most important conservation project.
