Nga Manu Nature Reserve

Nga Manu Nature Reserve, native swamp forest, wildlife, native birds, Waikanae, Kapiti. 

On just 13 hectares, Nga Manu Trust has developed an incredible experience of New Zealand's natural environment. The swamp forest supports towering 400 year-old Kahikatea trees and the country's sporting emblem - the Silver Fern. Little rivulets and streams interconnect with a series of ponds and wetlands. The 20,000 visitors who pass through Nga Manu every year have a choice of bush walks. Before you start your adventure, buy a couple of bags of dry feed for the family to make friends with the ducks and other webbed birds flocking at the many ponds.
