    Foarte lămuritor și educativ. Ghidul turistic a avut mari abilități de comunicare și a explicat totul în mod clar. Un tur minunat care se încheie cu o plimbare cu barca din peșteri.

    Ghidul nostru a fost foarte primitor și ne-a oferit o istorie și fapte interesante. Plimbarea cu barca a fost cel mai bun mod de a observa viermii strălucitori.

    Ne-a plăcut foarte mult turul, mi-a plăcut istoria peșterilor și ghidul turistic "Ocean" a fost fabulos și a fost un cântăreț grozav și a avut, de asemenea, un mare simț al umorului😁

    Această excursie a fost una dintre cele mai bune experiențe ale noastre în Noua Zeelandă. Valea râului a fost frumoasă, peșterile au fost stupefiante și stalactitele și stalagmitele au fost uluitoare... și apoi peștera de licurici în sine a fost minunată. Ash a fost un ghid grozav. Nu pot recomanda acest lucru suficient de mult.

  • Explore the Waitomo Glowworm Caves

    Join this 45-minute guided tour of one of New Zealand's best natural attractions. See the ancient limestone formations and the tiny glowworms lighting up the caves.

    Your guide, a Maori descendant, will narrate legends and stories, enhancing your understanding of the caves' sacredness in Maori culture. Explore a 30-million-year-old landscape, learning about the glowworms' unique biology and their bioluminescence. The tour covers 2 levels of the caves: the dry upper level, showcasing delicate cave formations, and the lower level, featuring stream passages and the majestic Cathedral, the cave's tallest chamber.

    Marvel at upper chamber carvings

    Before setting sail, explore the upper chamber of the caves by foot. Here, you'll witness limestone formations, carved over millennia into stalactites, stalagmites, and intricate columns. Walking in the upper chamber offers a chance to appreciate the artistic mastery of nature in sculpting these delicate structures.

    Sail through the Glowworm Grotto

    The tour's highlight is a slow-paced boat ride through the Glowworm Grotto. As you glide along the water, you will see thousands of glowworms shining their blue-green light on the cave ceiling. Experience a magical atmosphere as you witness a galaxy of tiny living lights. These glowworms, known as Archanocampa Luminosa, are unique to New Zealand and make the Waitomo Glowworm Caves a must-see attraction.
