Our Caves

Our caves are safe and completely suitable for everyone from young children to older folk. Bring a camera for some photos and let us give you wonderful memories of Waitomo.

Formed by the erosion of rock by water over millions of years, our caves are a true natural wonder. As Waitomo's brightest Glowworm Cave it was used by Sir David Attenborough and the BBC!

Mangawhitikau Glowworm Cave

New Zealand’s very best glowworm experience. Enjoy a long and gentle boat ride beneath a galaxy of glowworms. Avoid the crowds by joining our small group tours in private caves.

Spirit Cave
