A
National Kiwi Centre
The rather tired National Kiwi Centre has seen better days, but at least you’ll see a kiwi – peer into the dimly lit enclosure and see what’s rummaging about. There are also turtles, tuatara, and 150-year-old eels that get fed every day at 10am, noon and 3pm.

B
West Coast Historical Museum
This Museum has old photos, Maori artefacts, river and pub-life displays, and the southern hemisphere’s biggest Meccano set (a gold dredge replica). The Mana Pounamu exhibition is the ideal primer before you hit the shops looking for greenstone treasures.

C
Glowworm Dell
Just north of town, a short stroll from SH6 leads to a Glowworm Dell. Evening darkness maximises the show.

D
Gibson Quay Heritage Waterfront
Pick up the free Hokitika Heritage Walk leaflet from the i-SITE and wander the Gibson Quay Heritage Waterfront, imagining when the wharves were choked with old-time sailing ships.
