Glowworms and Natural Wonder
After Hobbiton, the journey continues to the renowned Waitomo Caves, where natural beauty takes centre stage. Your guide leads you through ancient limestone formations, pointing out the unique features shaped over millions of years. The atmosphere builds as you move deeper into the caves towards the glowworm grotto.
The grand finale is a boat ride beneath thousands of tiny glowworms illuminating the darkness like a starry night sky. It’s a magical, serene experience that contrasts beautifully with the vibrancy of Hobbiton. Together, these two destinations create an unforgettable day blending film fantasy, cultural charm, and natural wonder.
