Overview

Not that cave — the other one!

A hidden gem off the tourist trail and the #1 rated glowworm cave tour in the Waitomo District.

If you're after crowds, handrails and concrete paths… this probably isn’t for you. We’re the other glowworm tour — small groups, big adventure, and none of the tourist trap stuff.

What makes us glow?
• Glowworms galore!
• Snap away! Phones welcome and we’re proudly selfie-approved
• Just the right amount of adventure
• No railings, no footpaths – just pure underground magic
• Hosted by our awesome local guides
• Family-owned, eco-proud – we’ve planted over 8,000 trees
• Complimentary photos, tea, coffee & bikkies
• TripAdvisor’s #1 Rated Tour in Waitomo

This is caving the way it used to be — real, rugged, and unforgettable.
Come and see why so many travellers say: “This was the highlight of our whole New Zealand trip.”
