Real highlights, tips, and the helpful advice straight from Bookme customers who’ve actually done this experience.
This was one of the best glow work caves I’ve been too; really informative, fun and just memorising.
Very informative and cool experience. We were lucky enough to go in a very small group so the glow worms were really going for it. Affordable also through the bookme website would definitely recommend.
It was incredible experiencing the caves and glowworms. Our guide was amazing, kind and very knowledgeable. It was a privilege to spend time with the whānau on their whenua. Thank you!
Great experience! Our tour guide was very friendly, and we learnt a lot about the historical events in a Maōri tribe. There were lots of facts to learn about glow worms too.
