Waitomo Glowworm Caves & Aranui Cave

At the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, thousands of tiny glow worms cling to the cave ceiling, creating a starry sky within the underground night. You’ll also see a deep limestone shaft and a soaring subterranean cathedral that will leave you speechless.

Just 5 minutes away from the Waitomo Glowworm Caves is Aranui Cave. With a natural cave entrance, it is the smallest and most delicate of Waitomo’s three main caves. Take pictures of the most beautiful collection of stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and decorative formations.
