Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Waitomo Caves

It was a wonderful experience especially for kids. Well guided tour with a sense of humour which is a bonus. It well be better if you gonna book at the center instead of calling them on their customer hotline number. Recommendable for family with kids. You can clearly see the glow worms inside the cave while riding the boat. Quite fascinating. No videos or camera allowed inside the cave.

Fun-filled filled experience! Family and friends had a very enjoyable time here. Very informative - the tour guide was well rounded and knew his job so well. Safety is always a priority. He even rendered a song for us - cool dude. Initially my grandchildren were hesitant and scared due to darkness however they totally forgot about it and enjoyed the adventure

Wonderful experience, Guides to tell about the cave and give instructions. Good service. Restaurant available with in the permises.Boat ride was exciting with pitch black surrounding😬 and glow worms😍. Shops inside with collections. But too costly.

It was quite an amazing sight inside the glowworm caves! First part of the tour, you learn about the limestone formation; second part of the tour is a roughly 10-min boat ride during which you see the glow worms. To avoid scaring the glow worms, you are not allowed to take pictures inside the cave. These glow worms are unique to New Zealand so if you are interested in the experience, come to New Zealand!

This was a great way to spend a weekend. My wife and I came during the off season and there were very few people. The country had only just opened back up after Covid, so tourism wasn’t booming yet. The caves were what you’d expect, and quite an interesting and enjoyable experience. The tour with the boat ride was cool (but no photography allowed) and the tour just up the road was even better (longer with cooler caves and photos allowed). The guides were all very knowledgeable and we learned a lot of semi-cool facts. Once is enough though.
