Sehr gut
Sehr persönlich. Cooler Familienbetrieb mit absolut begeisterten Guids. Alle Erzählungen und Geschichten richtig genossen. Viel über Glühwürmchen gelernt.

Glowing from ear to ear
Te was a great guide, had an entertaining way of sharing his knowledge. Was very patient with the kids and made each one of them feel involved. Beautiful views inside, lot's of glow worms to see and a very scenic walk afterwards with giant rocks you don't often see in standard NZ nature walks

Very interesting
Pi was a wonderful guide with a great deal of information not just on the glowworms but generally her family who has had custodianship of this site for over 50 years.

Kawiti Glowworm
If you only do one tour in Northland, make it the Kawiti Glow Worm Caves. This was at the top of our bucket list, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A Huge Shout-out to Pai Our tour guide, Pai, was an absolute godsend. Her incredible knowledge of the area combined with her sense of humor made the tour "extra extra." She really made the experience for us! Perfect Even if You’re Wary I’ll be honest—if you’re like me and have a bit of a fear of heights or the dark, the idea of a cave tour can be nerve-wracking. However, this tour was so well-managed that those fears completely disappeared. It was comfortable, safe, and just stunning. Pure Magic The glow worms were absolutely jaw-dropping. Seeing thousands of them shimmering together felt like stepping into another world. It is such a serene and beautiful atmosphere that it would be a perfect place for a romantic engagement. Verdict: 10/10. Between the healing vibes of the caves and the amazing staff, this is a must-do!
