Nature Parks of New Zealand

Kea - Native alpine parrot judged the world's most intelligent creature after humans

Unique encounters

KANES incorporate parks that best help fulfil each group's interests.

At these parks (along with other interesting creatures) we encounter some the unique ancient untouched nature that mutated in New Zealand from the time of the dinosaurs when this land appeared above the oceans. See for yourself amazing kiwi, a cheeky kea, and other original unique fauna.

There are excellent nature parks in the English Culture and Volcano Zone and the North Island's Active Volcano Zone.   Park guides show us the highlights and if time permits guests can feed the friendly animals.
