Waitomo Glowworm Caves – A Magical Underground Wonder

#springitinerary The Waitomo Glowworm Caves in New Zealand are an unforgettable natural wonder. This network of caves, sinkholes, and underground rivers is home to the Arachnocampa luminosa, a glowworm species found only in New Zealand. Touring through the caves is like drifting through a starry sky underground, with thousands of glowworms lighting up the darkness. The tour spans two levels, blending geology, nature, and pure magic. The best time to visit is between December and March, when the glowworm colonies are at their most active. A must-see for nature lovers and anyone seeking a truly unique experience.
