About this guide

WaitomoGlowwormCaves.com is an independent guide to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and the other caves around them: which cave each tour enters, where it starts, how long it takes, whether photos are allowed, who it suits and the tours you can book. We are not the cave operator, a tour company, a tourism board or GetYourGuide: the site name describes what we write about.

Facts here are checked against official sources (Discover Waitomo, the operator of the Glowworm, Ruakuri and Aranui caves, and the Department of Conservation) and the listings on GetYourGuide, including recent guest reviews. Prices and tour times change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our editors pick the tours on what suits which traveler. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
