Why do I give 5 stars for this scenic location? Firstly it’s free, and very closed Hokitika town.
Not far from the hotel we stayed in, we went to see it at night, walked for 10 minutes, the fireflies seen here are all attached to the wall, the sky full of stars like fireflies, very beautiful.
The fireflies that Te Anau didn't watch due to the weather turned out to catch up with the free open-air [happy] ~ TV series in Hokitika today said that fireflies flying in the air are deceptive [questions]
There is also a scene in Hokitika glowwormdell, a free firefly hole, located just across the road from the coast shiningstarbeachfrontaccommodation, there are signs at the entrance, and free parking is available. Walk along the trail on the left for 2-3 minutes. When it rained, it was slippery, and I couldn’t see my fingers. It was the first time I came. I didn’t know the terrain very well. I needed to be very careful. It is not recommended to use a flashlight to enter. It is more beautiful and immoral. You can't use flash lights to take pictures. There are wires on both sides of the road, and the vertical woods are covered with glowworms, dotted with stars, like the stars, like being in the galaxy. Why is a New Zealand firefly called a greenworm rather than a firefly because it is a worm that does not fly, clings to damp woods and caves, spitting sticky silk like a net, and attracts flying insects with its own light. This place is recommended to go after 9pm, the darker the more beautiful.
After 8 o'clock after dinner, we decided to visit the Hokitika Firefly Cave, Glow Worm Dell. This is a free open-air wormhole. You can drive to find this place with the navigation, and it will be easy to miss if you are not careful. This is a path about 500 meters in diameter, the inside is dark, the bonfire from the most afraid of light, remember not to open any strong light or open the phone. Slowly, you will see green fireflies on both sides, the first time you see fireflies, still very excited. This free attraction is worth visiting.
Hokika Firefly Cave is not actually a cave, but a dense forest. This is a free attraction like many attractions in New Zealand. Because it is a firefly, you must go at night, and don’t use flashlights, don’t speak loudly, You don't need to use flash lights when taking pictures, so that you can disturb the elves as little as possible, and you can also see a bonfire like a galaxy. Quiet, you can experience the beauty and quietness of this place, and you can live in harmony with the fireflies.
