West Coast Wildlife Centre

Nestled in the heart of New Zealand’s Franz Josef and Fox Glacier region, the West Coast Wildlife Centre stands as one of the largest kiwi hatching facilities in the South Island. This centre offers a unique opportunity to learn about New Zealand’s native birds and other wildlife. Visitors can observe the elusive kiwi, a bird seldom seen in the wild, and the tuatara, an ancient lizard species that has survived for millions of years. The centre provides an educational and engaging experience, allowing guests to connect with these fascinating creatures up close.
