Experience the magical Waitomo Glowworm Cave Tour with Auckland & Beyond Tours, where you’ll witness thousands of tiny glowing creatures, “Arachnocampa Luminoso,” lighting up the Waitomo Grotto. The journey begins with a pick-up from Auckland CBD, followed by a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive through South Auckland into the Waikato region. Along the way, enjoy photo stops at picturesque locations. On arrival, you’ll have around 30 minutes to explore the gift shop or grab a snack at the Waitomo Homestead before your guided cave tour.
The 45-minute guided tour takes you through the fascinating Glowworm Cave, where your guide explains the history of the cave, the unique glowing worms, and the spectacular rock formations inside. The highlight of the experience is a tranquil flat-bottom boat ride along the Waitomo River, gliding silently under the sparkling glow of thousands of worms. After the tour, you’ll return to Auckland CBD, enjoying more scenic views along the way, making this a truly memorable half-day adventure.
