The excellent Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre, which is located in an ancient forest, is an ideal destination to experience conservation in action, as you keep an eye out for indigenous wildlife, many of whom are endangered species such as the takahe, kokako and kiwi. The centre is also home to Manukura, the world’s only white kiwi,. Those keen on experiencing the native bush can also go on a two-hour easy walking trail.
