How to Visit Waitomo's Glowworm Caves (Updated 2025)
"I went with Black Water Rafting for the three-hour black-water tubing trip: we wore wetsuits, boots, and helmets, practiced jumping into tubes, received a tutorial that oddly felt longer than the trip, then entered the cave to walk, wade, and float. The backward jumps off small waterfalls, the cold rushing water, and the long stretch of glow worms overhead made the experience simultaneously nerve-wracking and amazing; three hours felt too short, so I’d suggest the five-hour tour if you want more adrenaline." - Matthew Kepnes
