Waitomo Glowworm Cave Tour

What your day looks like

Experience the enchanting Waitomo Glowworm Caves with Auckland & Beyond Tours! Discover New Zealand’s unique glowworms, the "Arachnocampa Luminosa," as thousands of these tiny, luminescent creatures illuminate the mystical Waitomo Grotto. Your adventure begins with pickup from Auckland CBD, followed by a scenic 2.5-hour drive through South Auckland and the picturesque Waikato region, including photo stops and breaks as needed. Upon arrival, enjoy around 30 minutes to explore the Gift Shop or relax with a refreshment at the Waitomo Homestead. Next, embark on a one-hour guided tour through the Glowworm Cave, where your guide will share fascinating insights into the cave’s history, formations, and glowworms. A serene boat ride on a flat-bottomed boat through the Waitomo River lets you drift quietly under the spellbinding glow of thousands of tiny lights. After the magical experience, we’ll journey back along the scenic route to Auckland.
