Forget headlamps as you venture into Waitomo Caves, and leave the lighting to the glowworms. Paddle through Glowworm Grotto and discover a limestone labyrinth where biology has a flare all its own.

Travel south out of Auckland through the rich farmland of the Waikato and on to Waitomo. Stop for an included lunch at the world-famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves. After, begin your guided tour through the caves' long galleries and lofty chambers. Continue with a boat ride through the Glowworm Grotto—the site of an incredible phenomena. All around you, like stars in the night sky, the cave is illuminated by thousands of tiny lights from the glowworms suspended from the ceiling. Learn all about these fascinating bioluminescent creatures from your guide before catching your return motor coach to Auckland.
