Description

Embark on an exclusive journey to New Zealand’s underground wonders with the Spellbound Glowworm Cave and Explorer Tour—an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Start your day with a scenic drive, leading to a small-group tour through two remarkable caves. Begin in the Glowworm Grotto, where a serene boat ride reveals thousands of glowworms casting a soft, celestial glow across the cave. Capture this unique moment on camera—one of the few glowworm tours that allows photography. Then, explore the Cave of the Spirit on an interpretive walk featuring ancient limestone formations, fossils, and natural light. Throughout the tour, your guide provides rich insights into the glowworms’ life cycle, ecological importance, and the caves' geological history. Lush greenery and tranquil streams outside the caves offer perfect photo spots, adding to the charm of this magical setting. Recharge with lunch at a local eatery in Otorohanga (lunch not included) and enjoy a leisurely return to Auckland, reflecting on this one-of-a-kind experience in New Zealand’s hidden world.
