Beware of the nervous bull right next to you.

Punanga Manu o Te Anau / Te Anau Bird Sanctuary This is where sick or needy native birds are cared for. This gives you the opportunity to see them up close, which would not be possible in the wild.

No controls were carried out here… why should they? You can also just do a day tour on the Kepler Track

A nice tour from Te Anau, also doable as a short tour there and back.

A beautiful cycle path leads here and further to the suspension bridge

Fiordland National Park has two entrances, from Te Anau. This bridge is one of them. Be careful, once you have passed it, it is absolutely necessary that you have your entry permit. Controls take place in the national parks (and they are essential for you to book in the refuges). From this bridge you can enjoy a beautiful view of Te Anau Lake.

Passing through the paths of the Bird Sanctuary, you will have the opportunity to observe some totem birds of the region. In particular the famous Kea (a kind of mountain parrot) who knows how to be very playful on the heights of Kepler Track. You will find out!

Particularly with regard to birds, some species of which have suffered numerous ravages. The national symbol Kiwi is regularly the victim of road accidents but also of the plan to introduce rodents into natural areas.

Visiting a Visitor Center before entering a national park is always a good idea. In addition to the souvenir shop, you can find rangers there to talk to, get important information about the trek you want to do, but also learn about the fauna, flora and good practices in the park. In addition, you can take advantage of the toilets, fountains to fill your water bottles and wifi.
