Step into a magical underground world at Kawiti Caves, where thousands of glowworms light up the darkness like stars in the night sky. Discover ancient limestone formations and hear captivating Māori legends—all in one unforgettable guided tour
Amazing experience! Phoenix was a very informative tour guide, which makes the tour even more enjoyable. Thousands of glowworms in the cave, it looked like the Milky way! 100/10 ❤️
Fantastic tour, extremely informative, saw heaps of glow worms,beautiful caves and formations. Easy to walk through, wonderful guide (Pai?), very knowledgeable, funny and considerate. Highly recommend, great value for money tickets through bookme.nz
We went to this cave and it was very pleasant and peaceful. Was a great place to visit. It's based on family land and the family vibes are there. I enjoys our guide with Phoenix and also had a good Kurero while there. Would highly recommend as a place to visit. You can't take photos in the cave to respect their Whakapapa. Would recommend leaving phones and smart watches in the car so you can enjoy the cave without any light.
This was such a neat experience! If you have 45 minutes to an hour to spare, I highly recommend going on this tour. I went in knowing nothing about glowworms, but the guide was knowledgeable and personable.Seeing the glowworms light up in the cave was magical -- it was like walking under a sky full of stars! This mini-adventure perfectly shows how awesome nature can be.
