WAITOMO - Twin Caves Discovery - Private Day Tour from Auckland
Overview
The Waitomo Twin Caves Discovery combines two iconic caves: the Glowworm Cave and Ruakuri Cave.
Glowworm Cave: Famous for its glowworms that light up the cave ceiling, this tour includes a guided walk through limestone formations and a silent boat ride under thousands of glowworms. Highlights include the Cathedral, known for its acoustics, and the mesmerizing glowworm grotto.
Ruakuri Cave: This cave offers a more adventurous experience, featuring intricate limestone formations, underground rivers, and close-up views of glowworms. Highlights include the spiral entrance, stunning stalactites and stalagmites, and glowworms visible from walkways.
Both tours provide an unforgettable experience—Glowworm Cave focuses on the magical glowworm display, while Ruakuri offers a deeper exploration of underground wonders.
