One-day tour to Queenstown Kiwi Park, New Zealand
#Check-in #100 ways to travel
It is well known that New Zealand is a bird watcher's paradise. There are many birds here, but they are sensitive and good at flying by nature, so it is not easy to capture them at close range. Queenstown's Kiwi Park provides an opportunity for those interested in birds to observe them up close.
The original price of the admission ticket is around NZ$50, but if you order early tickets through the bookme website, you may get them as low as NZ$32. If you can get up early, you may want to give it a try. Upon entering, friendly staff will hand over maps to tourists, and there are intercoms in different languages next to the reception desk for explanations.
The park's map is clearly marked, and the location of each bird in the park is clear at a glance. These even include the popular national bird, the kiwi, and the kea, whose IQ is comparable to that of a four-year-old child.
It is worth mentioning that kiwis are sensitive to light, so the kiwihouse provides specific times for tour guides to lead tourists for close observation in the dim kiwihouse. In addition, there are two performances in the park that allow visitors to interact with the park's residents, the New Zealand Alligator Lizard, and other birds, at 11:30 and 3:00 respectively. Visitors who want to watch it must pay attention to the time on the map. The performers will bring their partners in rows for visitors to take photos and observe up close, which is an experience not to be missed.
