Encounters with rare and unusual wildlife are a special part of the New Zealand holiday experience. We have colonies of penguins, gannets and seals that are easily viewed from the beach, and offshore from Kaikoura there’s a pod of bachelor sperm whales that entertains the whale watch boats almost every day. In Northland, a night walk in the kauri forest could provide a glimpse of the strange, flightless bird that has become our national symbol.

For some encounters you’ll require a guide, but in many cases you can interact with our birds and animals as if it were the most natural thing in the world. And it is.
