Itinerary
1
Our destination is the Kawiti Glowworm Caves where a local Māori guide will lead you through underground caverns to see the glow worms and tell you how the caves came to be found.
Your 30-minute guided tour will follow a wooden boardwalk (with handrails) through a 200-metre limestone cave system. Once inside, you will see thousands of glow worms spread across the ceiling surrounded by breath taking stalactites and stalagmites.
