The Waitomo Glowworm, Arachnocampa luminosa, is unique to New Zealand. Thousands of these tiny creatures radiate their unmistakable luminescent light as our expert guides provide informative commentary on the Caves' historical and geological significance.
Enjoy a return day trip from Rotorua through across lush rolling farm landscape to the mystical Waitomo Glowworm Caves.
A picnic lunch served on board the coach if it was pre-ordered, otherwise passengers will need to bring their own or purchase in Rotorua. There is no lunch stop on this tour.
Enjoy a guided tour through the galleries and lofty chambers of the Caves.
Over your 45 minute guided tour, you'll take in the spectacular Glowworm Cave with its majestic and ornate cave decorations, the deep limestone shaft known as the Tomo and the equally magnificent Cathedral cavern where New Zealands own opera diva, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, once performed.
Your tour culminates with a boat ride through the Glowworm Grotto - lit up by thousands of tiny living lights.
Return to Rotorua this afternoon including Fitzgerald Glade - a section of highway where the native bush and trees form a canopy overhead.
