Meet New Zealand's wildlife in the heart of Hokitika

"The kiwi area was the best one we've seen so far."

We had a great time at this lovely aquarium. The thing we loved is that they don't have tons of small tanks stuffed up with fish, but just a few very beautifull and large tanks with plenty of room for the fish and with plenty of room for visitors to see them. Also the kiwi area was the best one we've seen so far. We could really watch the kiwi's do their thing for a long time. Really enjoyed that. Thanks for this beautiful place and the love you put in here!

"Glad I made the stop!"

Passed by here more or less on accident, glad I made the stop! Spent about 1,5 hours including feeding the eels and catching craw fish. Cool seeing a real kiwi bird. You are not allowed to take pictures in there but they give you a great printed photo

"It was fascinating seeing the couple of Kiwi birds."

We had a great experience and time at the centre. It was fascinating seeing the couple of Kiwi birds in their enclosure. Watching eels feed was great too.
