Glowworm Caves, New Zealand Be Spellbound by the Best Waitomo Glowworm Tour

Choose our small, friendly tour to experience Waitomo's famous glowworms...

Our glowworm display is spellbinding and incomparable!

Enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of a Spellbound tour where the feeling is exclusive, friendly and magical as you explore our natural glowworm paradise.

The Spellbound Glowworm Cave was the cave of choice for BBC's acclaimed 'Planet Earth' and 'Life in the Undergrowth' series'. Sequences were filmed in our cave simply because of the sheer number of up-close glowworms and the brilliance of their display.

Spellbound is dedicated to letting you experience glowworms at their very best.

It's so important to spend a generous amount of time in darkness to allow your eyes to adjust completely to glowworm lights and you do need at least 20 minutes without lights to experience this effect. Spellbound is the only non-adventure cave tour in Waitomo where you can do this.

We are special but we are not expensive!

Our tour includes two caves; A visit to our second cave,Te Ana o te Atua, (The Cave of the Spirit) complements the glowworm cave by showcasing calcite decorations, fossils and beautiful, natural light effects.

Our price is comparable to other two-cave tour options available in Waitomo but offers exceptional value.

That's because we ensure...

A small tour size for both caves - your own guide throughout - refreshments - short scenic walks - transport from Waitomo for everyone on the tour - interesting and knowledgeable guides - photography is allowed

Spellbound is locally owned and operated in Waitomo, totally professional and safe. We have consistently received rave reviews since we began in 2004.
