“Take a peek at some of Fiordland’s special birds that are difficult to see in the wild. A great family friendly place to visit!”

Punanga Manu o Te Anau/Te Anau Bird Sanctuary is set on the shores of Lake Te Anau, and is an easy 15 minute walk from the Te Rua-o-te-Moko/Fiordland National Park Visitor Centre.

The sanctuary is open to the public from dawn to dusk. There are public toilets, picnic tables and a drinking fountain. Entry is free for self-guided visitors, but a donation is appreciated to help with the running of the sanctuary.

For a guided visit, join DOC rangers for the daily feeding tours to observe and learn about these unique birds, including the rare flightless takahē once thought to be extinct.
