Amazing and family-friendly experience!
Visiting the Kawiti Glow Worm Caves was a truly great experience and perfect for families. The caves themselves are stunning, and seeing the glow worms up close was unforgettable. Our guide, Pai, was exceptional—she had incredible knowledge and shared so many insights about the caves, the glow worms, and the history of the area. You could really feel how proud she is of what she does, which made the tour even more special. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!

Glowing Review
Highly recommend!! We loved hearing the stories from the Kawiti family - the guides tell them so well:) The caves are amazing & the glow worms are spectacular. Such fascinating creatures & an incredible opportunity to get up close to them an learn about them in beautiful surroundings. The bush walk on the other side of the caves, through the rock formations is stunning - a real enchanted woods.

Amazing Experience at Kawiti Glow Worm Caves
We had a wonderful time at the Kawiti Glow Worm Caves today with our family. Our two guides and admin were friendly, knowledgeable, and great with both adults and kids. They shared the history and cultural stories of the caves in a clear and engaging way. The glow worms were absolutely stunning, and we felt safe and well looked after the entire tour. Highly recommend this experience. It was truly memorable for our whole family.
