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
Very impressive glow worms and excellent young guide.
What a wonderful tour with Pai who is passionate about the glowworms and their environment. She was a fountain of knowledge and shared that in a fun way. Highly reccommend this great tour. The walk back through the track with the amazing rock formations, just finished it off nicely.
Our tour guide Pai was amazing. She is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. The tour was fantastic because of her. The glow worms was beautiful but it was her narrative that made it an extra special experience.
Nice small groups going through and friendly funny guide. My 5 yr old and I had a great time even though, due to flooding, the back 1/4 of the cave was temporarily shut. Most of the overseas guests had not ever seen glow worms and you could tell they also really enjoyed the experience. A nice way to spend the morning!
