Join Auckland & Beyond Tours for an unforgettable Waitomo Glowworm Caves experience! New Zealand’s unique “Arachnocampa Luminosa” glowworms light up the Waitomo Grotto, creating a mesmerizing scene. We’ll start by picking you up from Auckland CBD, followed by a scenic 2.5-hour drive through South Auckland and the Waikato region, with stops for photos along the way.
Upon arrival, you’ll have 30 minutes to browse the Gift Shop or enjoy refreshments at the Waitomo Homestead. Then, embark on a one-hour guided tour through the Glowworm Cave, where your guide will share the cave’s history and details about the fascinating glowworms and rock formations.
Finish your tour with a serene boat ride along the Waitomo River, silently marveling at the glowworms’ ethereal light. After your Glowworm experience, we’ll return to Auckland via scenic roads.

5.00Great, unique experience. The short tour provided information about the limestone caves and resident glow worms. And seeing the glow worms was like viewing a star-filled sky. Glad we checked it out!
Nice stop to walk around

5.00Amazing experience from Auckland to Waitomo glowworm caves. Our driver Adil from Auckland and Beyond was very knowledgeable and gave us a very good history on New Zealand and made long drive smooth. Glowworm caves were once in life time experience worth the drive. You can’t take pictures or videos in caves but can get the green screen ones if you like.All in all a good half day tour near Auckland.

5.00What an amazing day! Nancy was an outstanding tour guide, and our little German-Italian crew had an incredible time on our adventure. We had so much fun! The cave tour was truly impressive, and the journey itself was just as memorable - packed with fascinating information about New Zealand, its history, and its stunning nature. A huge thank you to Nancy for making our day absolutely unforgettable!
Good tour

5.00There were only three of us on this tour - my husband and me, and one other young woman who we didn’t know. The tour driver was very friendly and informative and adjusted the tour to our needs, especially as it was such a small group.
Waitomo glow worm caves well worth 5 hour round trip from Auckland

5.00Nancy was driver, guide, docent on all things New Zealand when I traveled with 7 others to Waitomo glow worm caves. She moved from California to NZ 30 years ago, married, had kids, and now is happy to share her insights about Kiwi people, attitudes, language & Māori customs. She was a fount of knowledge & humor. Then the CAVES took center stage with one of most unusual ecosystems I have ever seen. Glow worms that lure insects in for their nutrition with bioluminescence. Walking through caves down steps then climbing into boat would be difficult for people with cane or walker, but all downhill so not strenuous. Our eyes need 20 minutes to dark adapt so guides had activities on way down to help accustom us to the dark. Really enjoyed explanations & demonstrations in caves. Be forewarned: NO cameras/phones allowed & silence expected to avoid disruption of worms feeding. Influencers & small children not welcome. Well worth 5 hour drive round trip from Auckland.
Good adventure!

5.00John was a great tour guide. He catered to us from the beginning to the end. The glow worm cave was majestic, like seeing jewels in the sky. John took pictures of us coming out of the cave on the boat. From Auckland it was a 2+ hour drive. John made a stop at a scrumptious bakery along the way and a yummy ice cream shop on the way home. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour.
