Rainbow Springs is proud to be home to the National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa, the world's leading kiwi hatchery! We're extremely proud to have hatched over 2,200 kiwi chicks to date, making us the world's largest and most successful hatching center.
Visitors to the Rainbow Springs Rotorua (North Island) National Kiwi Hatchery can enjoy a special 'behind the scenes' tour of the famous Hatchery to see real native Kiwi bird conservation in true action. Learn all about the efforts of the Kiwi husbandry team, discover what it takes to hatch a chick, and it is lots! - perhaps be super lucky, to witness seeing baby chicks in person!
Some visitors may have the chance to witness the Kiwi chicks getting a health check, being weighted or fed - the routine usually takes place in the morning, regardless of the time of day you visit the Hatchery, very proud loyal New Zealand guides and Kiwi caregivers always aim to give all visitors, both local and International - the very best ever Kiwi experience!
