Waitomo’s Hidden Gem: Off the Beaten Track Glowworm Cave Tour

Escape the crowds and discover a side of Waitomo most visitors never see. Our Off the Beaten Track Glowworm Cave Tour takes place on our private, family-owned farm and is limited to small groups, giving you a relaxed and personal experience from start to finish. This is a real cave adventure — you’ll walk, wade through shallow streams, scramble over rocks and explore an incredible natural cave filled with thousands of glowworms. There are no concrete pathways, handrails or big tour groups here. We provide all the gear you need, your guide takes complimentary photos along the way, and phones are welcome so you can capture your own memories too. Best of all, every visit helps support conservation on our land, including the planting of thousands of native trees. Small groups. No crowds. A genuine Waitomo adventure.
