Waitomo Glowworm Cave & Ruakuri Cave
Embark on an unforgettable underground adventure with a guided day trip from Auckland to the spectacular Waitomo Glowworm & Ruakuri Caves, where nature’s magic truly comes alive.
Hidden beneath the rolling hills of the Waikato, the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and Ruakuri Cave are two of New Zealand’s most extraordinary natural attractions, and a must‑visit for travellers seeking something truly unique. Glide silently through the Glowworm Grotto under a shimmering canopy of lights, then venture deeper into Ruakuri Cave to explore its winding passages, impressive limestone formations, and underground waterfalls.
Our comfortable mini‑van tours take care of all the travel, so you can relax and enjoy the journey. With expert commentary and plenty of time to explore, you’ll experience Waitomo and Ruakuri like never before. From marvelling at the glowworms to walking through the breathtaking spiral entrance of Ruakuri Cave, every moment is designed to amaze. Combine this adventure with other North Island highlights or enjoy it as a stand‑alone experience — either way, it’s an unforgettable day out from Auckland.
