Top North Island Caving

Enjoy one of New Zealand’s original tourist attractions: a tour of the magnificent Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Your guide—who may be descended from the Māori chief who first discovered the caves—leads you underground and tells you about the cultural significance of this site. Hop into a boat and glide on an underground river, enjoying the light show put on by millions of tiny bioluminescent insects hanging above.

Many visitors to the Waitomo Caves stick to the main tourist route, with a calm boat ride. But for a more energetic, adventurous experience, join this small-group tour to the less-visited Okohua Glowworm Cave of the larger Waitomo complex. Wade through water, climb over limestone formations, and float on a tube along the underground river while black-water rafting. After getting wet, enjoy a relaxing soak in an open-air hot tub.

Embark on a thrilling Blackwater Rafting adventure in Ruakuri Cave. Choose between two exhilarating tours: the original Black Labyrinth, where you'll float under glowworms and jump off waterfalls, or the longer Black Abyss, which includes abseiling, ziplining, and cave exploration. Both experiences offer unforgettable encounters with the natural beauty of the cave and take you to places impossible to reach on your own.

Make the most of your trip from Rotorua to Auckland with a tour of Waitomo Glowworm Caves, a network of flooded caverns lit by bioluminescent glowworms.

Glowworms don’t just live in caves, and we’ll show you something very few people ever see: thousands of them lighting up forest cliffs, canopies, and cave entrances in the open air when the world goes dark.
