Glowworm Caves At your leisure

Waitomo Glowworm Cave An Ancient Labyrinth

Discover the ancient underground labyrinth of limestone caves and grottos that are the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Experience natural history in the making! Immediately, when you enter this mysterious underground world, you will marvel at the amazing 'decorations' created by Mother Nature.

Mother Nature's 'Decorations'

These natural 'decorations', stalactites, stalagmites and sculptures have formed as a result of water dripping from the roof of the cave or flowing over the exposed limestone walls. As the water flows down through the earth towards the cave roof and walls, it dissolves limestone in its path. This limestone is then left as a crystalline deposit within the cave. These spectacular formations have developed over thousands of years and must be treated with respect. They are very delicate and can be severely damaged simply by the touch of a human hand.

Your Guided Tour

Your guided tour will take you through over 250 meters ( 820 feet ) of stunning underground scenery including the magnificent 'Cathedral'. The acoustics in this particular cave are world-renowned. Acclaimed New Zealand Diva, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, has performed here and was delighted with the purity of the sound. The climax of your guided tour is the boat trip in the Glowworm Grotto. For more than 100 years, visitors from home and abroad have journeyed into this 'starry wonderland' and been fascinated and intrigued by the tiny insect that can perform such magic. The Grotto provides the perfect natural environment for the Glowworm to thrive and continue to enthrall visitors for many years to come.
