Wonderful experience

Very well guided tour of glow worm caves. The guide girl had a very good knowledge about the glow worms and also the stalactites formations inside the cave. Very patiently and leisurely she guided us. The experience in itself was awesome.

Wow what a treat

What an experience. Personal and knowledgeable team. Thank you Cindy, Ian and friendly staff. My family really enjoyed the personal encounter with the glow worms. I was referred by my daughter Tyla and so glad I was. Will certainly be back. Please support them.

Milkey way glow work tour in Waipu

our guided tour was far more than what we expected. Absolutely worth the money. Our guide was very knowledgable, enthusiastic and more than willing to answer any of our questions. We will absolutely be back next time we have overseas visitors. The tour is suited for every age bracket and fitness level, we loved it and so did our, elderly, parents.
