Waitomo’s Spellbound Glowworm Cave Tour

Sir David Attenborough on the series Life in the Undergrowth:-  As “This Astonishing Cave” And “one of natures most Magical Illuminations!”

This small group personalized Spellbound tour allows you to spend 40 minutes under glow worms. This tour is one of the most unhurried glow worm tours in New Zealand. We allow time (up to 20 minutes is needed) for your eyes to adjust to darkness. During the raft ride your night vision will begin working to its best ability and you will be amazed at the effect of thousands of softly shining glow worms. We think you will be totally Spellbound. Those little glow worms are so interesting as well as beautiful and we will show you all their life cycle stages, you can watch them move about and see them use their clever silk fishing lines to catch prey. Following a visit to the glow worm cave, a gentle walk along a gorge path brings you to the Cave of the Spirit. Te Ana o te Atua, is quiet and contemplative, soft light reveals a time vault preserving evidence of past explorers, extinct animals, and abandoned stream passages. Both caves complement each other beautifully for a really memorable cave experience
