The Waitomo Glowworm Caves are among the must-do activities when visiting the area. The subterranean landscapes are spectacular. Travelers are also usually amazed by a surprising phenomenon. The walls are illuminated like a starry sky because these are home to thousands of glowworms. On this guided tour, visitors can experience abseiling, a boat ride on the underground river, or even tubing.
Outside the caves, outdoor activities are offered to the most adventurous: hiking, canyoning, kayaking and bungee jumping. A visit to the village of Waitomo and discovering the small local shops are also possible. Ruakuri Cave is renowned for its spectacular limestone formations, glowworms, and underground waterfalls. This place is magical and offers a fantastic experience for sensation seekers. By the way, the Black Water Rafting adventure is another activity that explores the Waitomo Caves. Still, this time, the abseiling is done in the waterfalls or by tubing through the mysterious passages.
Those who want to visit Marokopa Falls will be impressed. The show is breathtaking. To get there, a hiking trail in the middle of nature, where the vegetation is lush, has to be taken.
In addition, after the outdoor activities, culture and history lovers can marvel at a visit to the Waitomo Natural History Museum. The entire geological history of the region is retraced here, and it is even possible to contemplate beautiful exhibitions of local fauna and flora.
In addition, in Waitomo, the Marae Moana is a tourist spot that is ideal for people who want to learn more about the culture and traditions of the Maori people. Dance performances, Maori songs, and a tasting of traditional dishes will allow explorers to immerse themselves in the history and customs of the Maori. Cultural activities such as weaving harakeke baskets or making shell necklaces are also proposed to visitors. ◄
