Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
WHAT YOU VISIT
Waitomo Glowworm Caves
The Waitomo Glowworm Caves cruise introduces the wonders of this geological phenomenon. Here, tiny glowworms unique to New Zealand emit a fluorescent blue-green radiance that illuminates the caverns and underground streams the glowworms call home. As you float through the limestone formations, your guide will share information, legends and facts about this fascinating oddity of nature. The largest chamber of the cave is known as the "Cathedral," an acoustically perfect auditorium that has hosted a number of renowned performing artists.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
A three-hour motorcoach ride to the Waitomo Caves is a wonderful opportunity to take in all of Auckland's spectacular natural scenery. After driving through the thriving downtown area, you'll find yourself following the Waikato River into the rural countryside, where the lush green fields are populated by grazing sheep.
LUNCH
The Robertson Family welcome you to beautiful Crosshills Farm, where a home-cooked lunch, accompanied by splendid local wine awaits. Savor your meal in this lovely English garden setting and delight in the warm New Zealand hospitality that matches the delicious food. A sample menu features roast lamb and one other seasonal meat (usually beef meatloaf or ham), fresh breads and homemade pickles, seasonal vegetables and salads, and seasonal fruits and ice cream for dessert.
