About
An open window facility gives you the feeling of being really close to this unique bird.
More information
The National Kiwi Centre is situated in the heart of Hokitika in an undercover facility that provides viewing of kiwi in our nocturnal house that replicates their natural environment.
During your visit you can take part in feeding the giant eels (10am, 12 noon and 3pm daily).
The eels are approximately 85 to 100 years old.
