See New Zealand's world famous
glowworms in the
Milky Way Glow Worm Cave
at Waipu Caves Farm Park
Explore the Milky Way Glow Worm Cave at Waipu Caves Farm Park on this guided 1-hour tour suitable for all ages.
See New Zealand's world-famous glow worms up close and marvel at the beautiful hanging crystal formations. Hear the soothing sounds of the stream and dripping water while admiring the sparkle of glow worms in the dark.
Discover ancient moa bones and learn about the lives of the glow worms, how the cave was formed and about the formations. Loving nature is not just about seeing with your eyes, but knowing with your mind and heart.
Plus, you can take photos, which many other cave tours don't allow.
This tour in the previously secret and privately owned cave which opened in 2023 was designed to give you a real cave experience in a safe way while staying clean and dry on a concrete path.
Don't miss this awe-inspiring top-rated adventure!
The cave is beyond our expectations and tour guide was amazing. Fully recommended
We found it very interesting and an enjoyable experience! Our guide JJ was fantastic!
Hardly any glow worms... And a bit dangerous for small children and elderlies...
Thanks for your review 21 days after your tour. I hope your memory was not muddled up with other places you may have been. We have seen this before where our 5 star reviews are left at other places. There are plenty of glowworms, however if you are one of the people who spend more time looking at the phone taking photos your eyes will not be adjusted to the darkness to see the glowworms. Another effect which we sometimes see is when people turn off the hand held light we give each person, we see some people look into the light, which will mean they don't see as many glowworms until their eyes adjust to darkness. As for your comment 'a bit dangerous for small children and elderlies' I don't understand your reference as there are 30 concrete steps with handrails into the cave and a concrete path after that for people to walk on. If you believe that our tour is dangerous, you only have my sympathy and pity, as life must be scary outside the concrete jungle. Ian, the owner.
A well delivered tour to the Glow Worm cave. Nice easy pace and plenty to hold the interest of all ages. Enjoyable walk back to base on Crags Way track through lovely bush. Thank you
