Spent a few hours here. It was a great way to see birds native to NZ, though we wished a bit that we had done a guided tour as the staff probably knew the best places to see the different birds. Even…Full review by ashleyinthesky

We loved our five hours here. It helps if you like walking and birds. We walked up from the centre of Wellington as the free shuttles are not very frequent - a nice 50 minute walk uphill through the …Full review by benjbradshaw

Is there parking outside of the city where I can walk to Zealandia?
A:
There is a small parking lot outside of Zealandia. I took the cable car from the city and then the shuttle bus to Zealandia. You could park in the city and possibly do the same.
Hello, is there foreign language guided tour? Or an interpretation machine to hire? Thanks

Zealandia can be done as a self guided walk as you are following well fotmed trails through the nature reserve. If you do it this way the only thing you need to intrrpret is the map / pamphlet they provide. There are guided walks but as far as I am aware these are only conducted in English. I have had a look at the Zealandia website and cannot find any mention of audio guides. You kight get more infotmation by sending them an email.
I read there is a free courtesy bus from the cable car out to Zealandia and if that is still the case how long does it take to get there and approx. how long should we allow to visit and get back if we are on a cruise ship. We wanted to go out in the afternoon after a morning tour of the city would we have enough time? Thank you so much for your time and info

THe free bus ride is short no more than 5 to 10 mins and regular to and from Zealandia to the cable car summit. Yes can be done in the afternoon no later than 2 pm bus leaving for Zealandia. If you want to do the full walk in the nature reserve it takes around 50 mins to one hour. If you want to just see the Zealandia museum exhibits 20-30 mins is more than enough.Doing the full walk and museum will around 80 to 90 mins.
What is the best tour to take to see the most birds - day, twilight, or night tour?
A:
You definitely get to see a selection of birds during a day tour, make sure to keep a look out as birds are working away through the bark and what not :) As for seeing a kiwi, I haven't …
You definitely get to see a selection of birds during a day tour, make sure to keep a look out as birds are working away through the bark and what not :) As for seeing a kiwi, I haven't managed to see one there yet...next time. Zealandia is very tranquil too.
