Escape the crowds and discover a side of Waitomo most visitors never see. Our Off the Beaten Track Glowworm Cave Tour takes place on our private, family-owned farm and is limited to small groups, giving you a relaxed and personal experience from start to finish. This is a real cave adventure — you’ll walk, wade through shallow streams, scramble over rocks and explore an incredible natural cave filled with thousands of glowworms. There are no concrete pathways, handrails or big tour groups here. We provide all the gear you need, your guide takes complimentary photos along the way, and phones are welcome so you can capture your own memories too. Best of all, every visit helps support conservation on our land, including the planting of thousands of native trees. Small groups. No crowds. A genuine Waitomo adventure.

About Waitomo

Waitomo is a village in the King Country, on limestone hills riddled with caves, where glow-worms light the cave ceilings.

Waitomo sits in rolling sheep country in the northern King Country of the North Island, about an hour's drive south of Hamilton. The name comes from Māori words for water and hole, and the limestone hills under the farmland are riddled with caves. In the best known of them, the Glowworm Cave, boats glide beneath a ceiling dotted with the blue-green lights of a glow-worm found only in New Zealand.
