USA in Wellington

Mon 22 Sep: Arrive in Wellington
This evening ZEALANDIA by Night tour provides a magical experience. Begin your tour with highlights of the fully immersive and interactive exhibition and find out the story of how this safe haven was created. Then step through the predator-exclusion fence into the forest, where you will experience something incredible - evening birdsong that hasn't been heard on the mainland for more than a century.

As darkness falls, your guide will start looking for our elusive national mascot - the kiwi. Over 100 call our valley home, so there's a good chance of spotting one, foraging in the leaf litter! Often, the glow-worms are so bright you won't even need your torch! This is an utterly unforgettable experience: New Zealand at its very best. (optional tour cost not included)
