What people say

Raven Patzke
"On the North Island of New Zealand is the famous glowworm attraction in the Waitomo Caves. They’re made up of two levels. You must book to see this attraction, but a lot of the tour guides are actually direct descendants of the Maori Chief who originally explored the cave. It’s an unbelievable experience."
Bailey Selland
"Paid tour. Learn from Maori about the history of the caves. Our guide was pretty funny too. Take a walk through the caves and learn about the worms before taking a short boat ride through the most epic glow worms."
Emma Owen
"This is a really unique experience where you enter caves and the walls of the caves become illuminated by the glow worms. You will need to book this experience in advance they can get busy!"
