Waitomo Glowworm Caves (North Island)

New Zealand has some of the most challenging and spectacular caving systems in the world. Exploring the world renowned Glowworm Caves is a truly unique experience that should be on your bucket list! From November to March you can walk or float through the spectacular Waitomo Caves, known for its population of Arachnocampa luminosa - tiny insects that radiate their unmistakable luminescent light. This species is found exclusively in New Zealand. There are organized tours that include a boat ride through the starry wonderland of the Glowworm Grotto. The boat takes you onto the underground Waitomo River where the only light comes from the glowworms creating a sky of living lights.

The Glowworm Grotto is part of the Waitomo Caves system that includes the Ruakuri Cave and the Aranui Cave, with several small underground lakes.

Rarotonga is a jungle-covered, volcanic island. If you’re interested in abundant, exotic flora and fauna take a guided trek into the interior. If you’re not the mountain climbing type take a bird watching tour in the lower forest – Rarotonga has almost as many beautiful native birds as it has brilliant tropical fish. Driest months on Rarotonga are from May to October, and the warmest months from January to March. The temperatures are pleasant all year round, so it is usually sun bathing and swimming weather!
