Description
Explore glow worm caves in Auckland on a guided one-hour walk through Pukekawa, the city’s oldest park built on a 100,000-year-old volcanic cone. This Auckland glowworm tour takes you along forest trails, palm groves and hidden waterfalls where glowworms shine in their natural habitat. It is a convenient alternative to taking a day trip to Waitomo glowworm caves, offering a local, affordable option right in the heart of the city.
Your guide will share insights into the fascinating world of glow worms Auckland is home to, including their bioluminescent light, hunting methods and brief adult life stage. Unlike busy glowworm caves Auckland New Zealand visitors often travel to, this experience is crowd-free with no barriers, making it easier to enjoy the glow up close and even capture photographs.
This Auckland glow worm tour option is suitable for families, couples and travellers of all ages. You will also learn about the volcanic history of Pukekawa and its unique native plants, from towering Nikau Palms to lush subtropical vegetation.
