The National Kiwi Centre

64 Tancred Street, Hokitika

The National Kiwi Centre has several live exhibits where you can see the unique animals of New Zealand in a replica of their habitat. 


While we would all prefer to see these animals in the wild, the unfortunate reality is that many are now endangered and must be carefully managed to prevent a further decline in population numbers.


Supporting the survival of these animals is our top priority and healthy animals ensure there will be enough diversity for national breeding programs.
