Pūkorokoro Shorebird Centre
Saturday, 19 April 2025
At the Shorebird Centre we welcome visitors to come and explore the fascinating world of shorebirds with us.
Visit the Shorebird Centre to learn about the birds then head 2km down the road to the Bird Hides to view them. You can either walk the trail to the hides from the Centre (about 35-40 minutes each way) or drive 2 km to our car park and walk from there (about 200 m to the first hide.)
The best time to see the birds is 2-3 hours either side of High Tide (High Tide will be at 11.17am on 19/04/2025).
At the centre you can learn all about shorebirds and their habitat from our information displays and our knowledgeable staff.
Find out what the different birds look like and which ones are currently at Pūkorokoro.
Learn about the amazing journey that migratory birds like the godwit make from Alaska to New Zealand.
Discover more about New Zealand’s shorebirds, their ecology, habitats, and their conservation.
Browse our extensive range of natural history books and children’s books.
Bring your lunch and relax on our deck or in the lounge.
The Bird Hides are located 2km down the road from the Shorebird Centre. This is the best place to view the birds.
