Our personalised 3 hour guided tours are for small groups of 2-6 people. We’ll welcome you to our farmhouse and give you all the clothing, footwear and equipment you need.
You’ll begin your adventure walking through beautiful native bush, climbing over boulders and wading through the freshwater stream that flows into our cave system.
What’s really special about Down to Earth Waitomo Eco Glowworm Cave Tours is that we have left our caves in their purest and most natural state. With no concrete paths or electric lighting, this is a genuine eco-adventure into the heart of New Zealand’s magical glow worm environment.
Once inside the caves, you can explore magical glow worm displays and stunning limestone formations at your own pace, stopping to take photos along the way. You’re welcome to bring a small camera along on the tour. Your guide will also take great pictures of your adventure which we’ll email you afterwards for free.
After your tour, enjoy a hot shower and refreshments back at the farmhouse. We love meeting new friends from all over the world and sharing our local knowledge and travel tips.
The incredible cave system on our family farm is one of only two in Waitomo classified as ‘of international significance’ by NZ’s Department of Conservation. Come and experience a true piece of New Zealand paradise!

非常推薦
很特別的體驗，需要在洞穴裡爬上爬下，但不會很難，有基本的體能就可以了。有提供裝備衣服靴子，原則上只有腳會弄濕，回來之後有需要的話可以沖澡。螢火蟲很漂亮，非常值得去看看，超浪漫的。
