What you can expect

Embark on an unforgettable journey with Auckland & Beyond Tours to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, starting with a convenient pickup from Auckland CBD. As you travel south through scenic countryside, enjoy a two-and-a-half-hour drive into the Waikato region, with opportunities for photo stops along the way.

Upon arrival at Waitomo, you'll have around 30 minutes to explore the Gift Shop and grab refreshments at the Waitomo Homestead. Your experienced guide will then lead you on a one-hour guided tour inside the Waitomo Glowworm Cave. Learn about the cave's history, geological formations, and the unique Arachnocampa Luminosa glowworms that illuminate the caverns with their bioluminescent light.

Next, board a flat-bottom boat for a serene journey along the underground Waitomo River. Marvel in silence as you glide beneath a starry canopy of glowworms, creating a breathtaking natural light display overhead.

After completing your enchanting Glowworm Experience, relax as you journey back to Auckland, soaking in the scenic landscapes of the Waikato region before returning to the bustling city.

This tour promises a captivating blend of natural beauty, geological wonders, and the mesmerising spectacle of glowworms, ensuring an enriching and memorable adventure into New Zealand's subterranean world.
