Waitomo Glow Worm Grotto


See the geological wonders of the Waitomo Glow Worm Grotto and enjoy both countryside and regional town views on the drive each way. At the Waitomo Glow Worm Grotto, travel on an underground river through limestone caves illuminated by the flickering blue-green light of glow worms. The limestone formations include The Cathedral, an acoustically perfect auditorium that has hosted performances by such recording artists including the Vienna Boys Choir. Visit Crosshills, Fraser & Debbie Robertson’s home, where the lovely English style garden is a delight. Enjoy some New Zealand hospitality and a home cooked lunch. Special Notes: Tour order may vary. Motorcoach portion of the tour operates with a driver/guide. The scenic drive to Waitomo is approximately 3 hours each way. The cave’s pathways are not paved. There are 100 easy-paced steps going down into the cave and 50 steps to exit. The glow-worm grotto is neither wheelchair accessible nor suitable for the claustophobic. Photography is prohibited within the cave. Please wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, a hat and jacket, plenty of biodegradable sunscreen and bring bottled water.
