Waitomo Glowworm Caves

The Waitomo Glowworm Cave (officially, Waitomo Cave) is a cave with several large chambers at Waitomo in the North Island of New Zealand. It is a tourist attraction known for its population of Arachnocampa luminosa, a glowworm species found exclusively in New Zealand. This cave is part of the Waitomo streamway system that includes the Ruakuri Cave, Lucky Strike, and Tumutumu Cave.

The attraction has a modern visitor centre at the entrance, largely designed in wood. There are organized tours that include a boat ride under the glowworms.
