If you love the natural world and are visiting Auckland, going on the Spellbound glowworm tour is well worth the time. Be aware, it's a full day because the caves are about 2.5 hours away so you have at least a 5 hour round trip. We had tours of 2 caves which, combined, lasted around 2.5 hours. Our guide was Ross, who was fantastic at what he did. Easy to understand and with a good sense of humor, he made the tour fun and educational. If you are a nature lover, this is an awe-inspiring must-do tour. We were visiting from America and visiting here was a once in a lifetime trip. The tour is aptly named Spellbound because everyone on the tour truly was. It was a sight my wife and I will remember for the rest of our lives. I have also, in my short 71 years of living, never met another person in the US who has experienced this natural phenomenon. I also have to tip my hat to our tour driver, Takahiro. He was also wonderful to meet and talk to with conversations that made a long trip seem much shorter. His knowledge added to our overall experience. This, truly, was a tour of a lifetime. We enjoyed it immensely and would strongly advise people to take the tour, especially if nature holds a special place in your heart.
