For over 100 years Waitomo Glowworm Caves have attracted
millions of people from all over the world. The moment you enter
this subterranean wonderland you'll discover an ancient
underground labyrinth of limestone caves and grottos, and marvel
at amazing stalactites and stalagmites - mother nature's decorations created by nature.

You’ll experience a boat trip like no other, journeying through the starry expanse of the Glowworm Grotto, while your way is lit by a multitude of tiny glowworm lights.

Journey underground on a subterranean adventure through
limestone chambers and passages. Be suspended in awe and silence, surrounded by cave decorations and a galaxy of tiny living lights
found in the Waitomo Glowworm Caves.

As you glide quietly beneath the lights of thousands of glowworms,
it is only the gentle sound of dripping water that reminds you that
you are deep underground and not beneath a star filled sky.

Formed over 30 million years ago there are two levels to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves which are 16 metres apart. The upper level is dry and includes the entrance to the cave, the Catacombs and the Organ Loft. The lower level consists of stream passages and the Cathedral.
