Waitomo Glowworm Caves boat tour beneath bioluminescent ceilings
Auckland · New Zealand
About this experience
In the underground caves at Waitomo, a boat glides quietly across dark water. Overhead, thousands of glowworms shine as blue-green points. Silence feels more natural than talk.
The cave is cool, so bring a light jacket. Keeping quiet and avoiding flash photography are part of the cave rules. Photos can be hard, so simply enjoy the moment. Let your eyes adjust for a few minutes before looking up.
