Description

Hours: 9.30 to 3.30

This is Waitomo's most impressive glowworm display, you will be able to enjoy it in a small group of 12 and we have only one group visiting the cave at any time. To make it even more special we allow far more time with the lights out than any other glowworm cave in NZ. When your eyes have properly adjusted to darkness the glowworms will magically light up the entire cave creating an unrivalled glowworm spectacle. For those choosing the Spellbound Glowworm Explorer, we also visit the Cave of the Spirit to see fossils and beautiful light effects as sunlight filters down through many tomo along the cave passage.

Our tours are friendly, informative and fun. With no more than 12 people on board, raft beneath many thousands of fabulous glowworms to see them at their very best. We visit private caves away from the regular, more commercial tours. Our caves are on a beautiful hill country farm and your guide is also your host, so expect a really enjoyable and memorable tour of our two magical caves.
