Visit and stay

Shorebirds are here all year round, the highest numbers are present from January to March. The Shorebird Center is open 9-5 but you can go and see the birds whenever the tide is in.

The Shorebird Centre has overnight accommodation; self-contained units as well as bunkrooms for hire. Stay with us us while you check out New Zealand's shorebirds.

Tides

The best time to view the birds is 2 hours either side of high tide. The tide here is similar to the Thames high tide (Metservice). For planning future visits use Linz tide predictions and search for Rocky Point for long range tide times.

If you've got a proposed date and aren't sure about the tides call us 09 232 2781 9am-5pm or email us and we'll go through the details with you.
