Visitor centres

Introduction

Contact a DOC visitor centre for advice on your visit to New Zealand's conservation areas.

We have DOC visitor centres nationwide, staffed by DOC rangers with local knowledge about conservation places and activities. Visit us for local information, bookings, and hut tickets. There is no charge for your visit. 

If there is no DOC visitor centre in your region, search for an isite.

On public holidays: Visitor centre hours vary. Contact the centre to confirm if they're open.
