Have you got kiwi-spotting on your must-see list? 😍 Save this post for 6 locations where you could see these iconic birds in Auckland!

📍Auckland Zoo
Experience kiwi at Auckland Zoo. Their specially designed Te Pō / The Night habitat has these nocturnal birds roaming in the dark, to help you catch a glimpse of them during the day. Join their 12.30pm free keeper talk each day, so you can learn more about them.

⛰️ Tiritiri Matangi Island
The island is home to around 80 little spotted kiwi - the smallest of the five kiwi species! Want to spot one in the wild or hear its call? Stay overnight in available accommodation and wait for nightfall for your chance.

🌳 Tāwharanui Regional Park
Ever wandered through a predator-free sanctuary? Tāwharanui’s North Island brown kiwi await your nighttime adventure. Book a nearby lodge or pitch a tent in the park’s campground, stroll the Ecology Trail and keep your eyes peeled for these nocturnal locals.

⛰️ Rotoroa Island NZ
There are about 25 Coromandel brown kiwi living on Rotoroa Island. Rangers on the island can help you pick a track that’ll give you the best chance of spotting this precious taonga at night.

🌳 Shakespear Regional Park
Love exploring nature? Shakespear Regional Park offers far more than lush greenery and stunning views - it’s also home to around 20 little spotted kiwi! Stay at the stunning Te Haruhi Bay campground or a nearby lodge and go on a moonlit adventure to spot these special birds.

⛰️ Motuihe Island
Little spotted kiwi can be found living on this beautiful pest-free island sanctuary. Set up camp on a sandy, sheltered beach and wait for nightfall for your chance to see one in the wild.
