Our personalised 3 hour guided tours are for small groups of 2-6 people. We’ll welcome you to our farmhouse and give you all the clothing, footwear and equipment you need.
You’ll begin your adventure walking through beautiful native bush, climbing over boulders and wading through the freshwater stream that flows into our cave system.
What’s really special about Down to Earth Waitomo Eco Glowworm Cave Tours is that we have left our caves in their purest and most natural state. With no concrete paths or electric lighting, this is a genuine eco-adventure into the heart of New Zealand’s magical glow worm environment.
Once inside the caves, you can explore magical glow worm displays and stunning limestone formations at your own pace, stopping to take photos along the way. You’re welcome to bring a small camera along on the tour. Your guide will also take great pictures of your adventure which we’ll email you afterwards for free.
After your tour, enjoy a hot shower and refreshments back at the farmhouse. We love meeting new friends from all over the world and sharing our local knowledge and travel tips.
The incredible cave system on our family farm is one of only two in Waitomo classified as ‘of international significance’ by NZ’s Department of Conservation. Come and experience a true piece of New Zealand paradise!

Sehr spannende Tour!
Nach kurzer Einführung ging es durch ein schönes grünes Tal zur Höhle. Unser Guide Ash war super, hat viel erklärt und es gab viele Fotostopps. Die Höhle ist voller Tropfsteine und man klettert über Felsen + durchwatet den Fluss. Sehr spannend und am Ende sitzt man im Dunkeln und genießt die Glow Worms. Danke für das tolle Erlebnis abseits vom großen Trubel!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our company. We are so glad you enjoyed our photos. The guides have spent many hours taking photos in the cave and we think they are getting pretty good at taking photos in the dark! :-)
