Meet and feed rescued horses, donkeys, sheep, goats and pigs on a 1-hour guided walk through Kind Farm Animal Sanctuary in the Cardrona Valley, near Wanaka. Every visit supports the animals' care.
Kind Farm Animal Sanctuary is a family-run sanctuary for rescued farm animals in the beautiful Cardrona Valley, near Wanaka. It sits on the Cardrona Valley Road, the route between Wanaka and Queenstown. The Behind the Scenes Walking Tour takes you to meet the animals with a dedicated guide, for an hour of up close, interactive time with the sanctuary residents.
You meet and feed the animals with your guide. You might hand-feed the sheep, step in with the donkeys, and meet the horses, ponies, goats, pigs, cows and the farm dogs. Your guide shares each animal's story, how the sanctuary cares for them, and the history of the farm and the Cardrona Valley, both Māori and European.
This is a farm sanctuary, not a petting zoo. Feeding happens only on guided tours, with your guide leading it, so the animals stay calm and well cared for. Groups are capped at 14 guests, and your guide learns what each person is interested in, so if one animal is your favourite, they will make time for it.
Want the farm to yourselves? Book the Private Family Walking Tour for up to 6 people, or the Private Group Walking Tour for up to 12. The Private 4WD Experience takes up to 4 people around the farm by vehicle with your own guide. It suits anyone who would rather not walk far, and it gives you a warm vehicle on a cold day.
Every tour helps keep the sanctuary running. Tour proceeds directly support the ongoing care, feeding and veterinary needs of the rescued animals. The farm is also replanting native bush to bring birdlife back to the Cardrona Valley.
Before or after your tour, the farm shop and food trailer by the check-in area serve coffee, food and real fruit ice cream.
