Great organization and wonderful tour! We learned so much from Kai about the Kiwi birds. Thank you so very much! I have wanted to see a Kiwi my whole entire life!

We found this tour fascinating. While no eggs were being hatched when we were there, they made the process clear and understandable. And then we were able to spot all 3 kiwi that they had for viewing. We really enjoyed it!!
We didn't realize there was also a farm animal show with sheep and sheepdogs, but we stumbled on the last 5 minutes and wish we had seen more. It looked really fun!

We have learned and seen a lot about the way of life and the conditions under which the Kiwis live. It was great to see some of these cute animals live. Toller Guide.
