A tour for adventurous travelers. Join me as we travel to Waitomo Glowworm Caves, New Zealand's most famous tourist destination. A fascinating day trip to explore these deep underground glow worm caves that will take your breath away. Descending into these huge caverns, you can only marvel at the thousands of tiny glow worms and their wonderful lighting display as your boat glides silently along the subterranean river. In the dark of the cave, their radiant luminescent lights give the impression of an amazingly clear night sky. An awesome sight! See ancient stalactites, stalagmites, and eroded columns as your guide brings you up close to the glowworms, elaborate cave formations, underground rivers, myths, legends, and sacred Māori sites, and history. The Waitomo Caves tour is approx. 45: min. Please note travel time is approx 2:15 hrs each way.
Your wonderful adventure starts when I pick you up from the Port entrance gates. After an early start from the Port, we travel over the Kaimai Range into the Waikato region through arguably New Zealand's best farmland past dairy farms, horse studs, and hydro dams - plenty to see on this trip! Arriving at the Glow Worm Caves your cave guide takes you on a magical 45 min boat ride on the underground river through prehistoric caves that resemble a fairytale world as your boat silently glides through the starry wonderland. On our return journey we stop for a lunch break at "The Shires Rest Cafe" Hobbiton before returning you safely to Tauranga port on time on board your waiting ship. I have never missed a ships departure!
