What is a kiwi? It's a fruit. It's a New Zealander. It's the National Bird of New Zealand. How can this be? Find out on this fascinating tour that starts with a scenic drive through kiwi (kiwifruit) country, is guided by enthusiastic kiwis (New Zealanders), and ends with a visit to a kiwi (bird) hatchery.
Visit the award-winning Agrodome — New Zealand's most popular farm experience. Set in the heart of 350 acres of lush farmland, yet only 10 minutes from Rotorua's urban center, the Agrodome has welcomed visitors for more than 40 years. Explore a working farm from aboard an all-weather, all-terrain vehicle. This is an interactive visit, so you'll meet and possibly hand-feed loads of friendly animals, including Romney sheep, cattle, deer, llamas and alpacas.
Enjoy a buffet lunch in the Farmyard Café featuring kiwi-inspired food.
You'll also visit the National Kiwi Hatchery — New Zealand's foremost kiwi (bird) husbandry and egg incubation facility, leading the industry in hatching techniques and kiwi chick rearing. See kiwi eggs in incubators, a video of the hatching process, and newly hatched kiwi chicks. 100% of your facility entry fee is a donation to the kiwi-hatching program.
This is an educational, thought-provoking, and utterly charming experience where you'll learn all about kiwis — all three kinds!
Notes:
Guests may be divided into groups on arrival. Travel time to the Agrodome and hatchery is approximately 90 minutes each way. Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation. Tour sequence may vary.
