The Kawiti Glowworm Caves sit in the Waiōmio Valley, just south of Kawakawa. Thousands of native glowworms illuminate the limestone ceilings while striking natural formations create a unique atmosphere.
Tours are operated by the Kawiti family and their expert guides, who will explain the glowworm life cycle, Māori history, and cave geology as you walk the purpose-built boardwalk (about 200 metres).
Photography and lights are strictly restricted inside the cave to protect the delicate glowworm colony. Guides are happy to help with photos outside the caves.
