From Milky Way Glowworm Cave Tour - Waipu
Thanks for your review and for returning for a second visit. We now have another tour option which is longer in time and distance. It is called the Starburst Cathedral. It goes in the same Milky Way Glowworm Cave but goes further. It should be live on Bookme by end of February 2026. Just to make it clear for everybody reading, your mention of the 'ride to the cave' is about your journey driving your car to us on the scenic rural country road, as we do not drive people to the cave. There is a 300m walk though.

Fascinating cave & glow worm experience
We went off season and it was just us and an American couple so a wonderfully personalised experience. The location was lovely and we walked up to the caves, learning about the landscape around us which created them. Most exciting was getting up close & personal with the slimy wiggly glow worms then standing in the dark as their lights shone like the Milky Way - appropriately enough!

Thanks very much for your review. certainly in the lower season you are more likely to get a smaller tour group size which can be beneficial for the visitor

“Glowing” review
It was our 2nd visit to the caves and it was as amazing as our 1st time. Thank you JJ for making it so informative and for answering all our questions. The cave has stainless steel railing, concrete walkways and completely accessible and safe for all… It’s really an experience that I would encourage everyone to do, not to mention the ride to get to the caves is a beautiful, scenic trip, so double bonus.
