Can you see glowworms without taking a full-day Waitomo tour?

Yes. The Rotorua Nocturnal Glow-Worm Tour is the best choice for seeing glowworms in a natural forest setting. Join a guided walk through native bush after dark, learning about glowworms and the forest’s nocturnal wildlife.

For a different perspective, the Twilight Kayak Glow Worm Tour combines evening paddling with glowworm viewing. Alternatively, Mitai Māori Village brings together Māori cultural performances, a hāngī dinner and a guided forest walk to see glowworms.

All three experiences can be added to any Escape package visiting Rotorua, with bookings arranged around your existing itinerary.
