Tripadvisor’s #1 rated Waitomo Tour
Off the Beaten Tourist Track
Unhurried, Untouched, Unbelievable!
Proudly Kiwi Owned and Operated
From February 9th 2021 we will temporarily be offering only private/group and photography tours. These tours are available on request, by emailing contact@glowing.co.nz with your preferred date and time.
We do understand this change is an inconvenience but unfortunately our bookings are down 95% compared to pre-covid levels. That unfortunately means we can't afford to keep operating the way we used to. We thank you for your understanding and hope we will eventually be able to return to normal operation. Please do contact us if you are interested in a tour. We would love to hear from you!
Don’t take our word for it. We love welcoming visitors from across New Zealand and the world and we get some glowing reviews. On Trip Advisor we are the #1 rated glow worm cave tour in Waitomo, and many overseas visitors say it was the highlight of their trip to New Zealand.
Get cracking and book today! Choose from our ”Off the Beaten Track” eco tour, Private tour or Photography tour. We can’t wait to meet you.
You are welcome to bring a small pocket sized camera or phone to capture some of New Zealand’s finest scenery. If you’re a photography enthusiast you might like to bring your larger camera and tripod on our private Photography Tour.
No stuffy tour buses or queues here! Our guided tours are for small groups of 8, so you can enjoy an up close and personal experience at your own pace. We’ll even email you awesome photos of your adventure afterwards for FREE!
There are over 300 caves in Waitomo, but ours is one of only two cave systems classified as ‘of international significance’ by NZ’s Department of Conservation. Trust us, you’ll meet a lot of very important glow worms.
This is an authentic, real deal caving adventure with untouched glow worm caves and stunning limestone formations in their purest form. No fancy gadgets like electric lights or handrails. We want happy worms.
Our tours are fun and adventurous. Our experienced guides tailor the tour to each group, making sure you will be challenged and excited with just the right amount of adventure to suit your abilities.
Our family has lived in Waitomo for over 100 years. We grew up exploring the incredible glow worm caves and pristine native bush on our family farm, and now we love sharing our piece of paradise with you.
