Glowworm Dell
About
When in South Island, Glowworm Dell is the local business known for its glowworm display, a free roadside attraction on State Highway 6 in Hokitika 7882, Nueva Zelanda. The site sits just off the highway, where a short walk leads into a dark grove lit by the insects. First-time visitors should expect a natural setting rather than a built visitor centre, with the glowworms best seen after dusk in darkness.
Visitors have given Glowworm Dell a 4.5 out of 5 average across 1469 reviews, a strong record for a roadside stop. The attraction's reputation rests on the density of glowworms visible along the banks and foliage of the dell. Reaching the dell is straightforward for travellers driving the main route, with Hokitika connected by road to towns such as Christchurch, Nelson, Wanaka and Queenstown.
The website http://www.hokitika.org/ provides further reference for the attraction. South Island's temperate climate means summer, from December to February, is the busiest season, while winter stays mild at low altitudes.
New Zealand cooking leans on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, which travellers can sample in nearby towns. Domestic flights and ferries connect the islands, and English and Māori are the main languages spoken.
