This dell is best visited at night; you'll be surrounded by sparkling glowworms. They're about a minute walk in from the road, and while the path is dark, using a bright torch will make some of the glowworms turn off. The light of a phone screen is totally enough to see by.
A private tourism business - not "national" in the sense of being affiliated with the government. Visit this kiwi centre and aquarium to see kiwi, tuatara, giant eels, many native and exotic fish, along with turtles and frogs.. There are also activities to participate in - feeding the giant eels, catch and release of 'crawlies,' a children's room with lots of books and toys, & displays and video about the kiwi and other creatures. At 10:00am, 12:00 noon, and 3:00pm it's feeding time for the 100 year old eels, sport fish, and kiwi, with an informative talk about these amazing creatures.
