Discover Zealandia Te Mara a Tane – an ecosanctuary of lush forest and home to over 40 rare species of native wildlife in the heart of Wellington.

ZEALANDIA is the world’s first fully fenced urban ecosanctuary, with an extraordinary 500-year vision to restore a Wellington valley’s forest and freshwater ecosystems as closely as possible to their pre-human state. The 225-hectare (500+ acre) ecosanctuary is a groundbreaking conservation project that has reintroduced 18 species of native wildlife back into the area, some of which were previously absent from mainland New Zealand for over 100 years. 

With its 8.6km fence keeping out introduced mammalian predators, birds such as the tui, kaka and kereru, once extremely rare in the region, are all now common sights around central Wellington. Other vulnerable native species such as tieke, hihi, little spotted kiwi, and tuatara remain thriving safely in the sanctuary.

With everything in ZEALANDIA living wild, your nature-guru guides will use their knowledge of birdsong, habitats, and local flora to track down even the rarest of animals.

Now approximately 27km long and 600m deep, the Tasman Glacier is melting and calving at an exponentially increasing rate. In recent years the Tasman Glacier has changed from a ‘melting’ to a ‘calving and melting’ terminus, resulting in a terminal lake that is rapidly increasing in size.
