Just a short journey from Auckland, lies the magical beauty
of the Waitomo Caves. These miracle limestone caves, sruptured
by the passage of water are noted for their strange rock
formations and spectacular glow-worm colonies.
Experience the rich farmland of the Waikato and the Historic
King Country to arrive at the Waitome Caves. During this
special visit, you will be guided on a special tour through
the long galleries and the lofty chambers to view precious
and eye popping stalactites and stalagmites formed over
thousand of years before, by the constant dripping of water,
from the top of the caves.
This special tour will end by a boat ride through the Glow-Worm
Grotto that is illuminated by thousand of tiny lights emitted
by the Glow-Worms, suspended from the top cave ceiling.
The caves allow an easy access for the visitors, there are
various ways to explore the caves, either from the more
conventional mode of walking to abseiling. Even an inexperience
traveler can select a tour which goes as deep as 90m. Another
recommendation for your thrills and excitement, is the underground
rafting tour, this is specifically for the one that's hard
to beat.
