If there is one
thing you need to add or cross off your bucket list it’s definitely got to be the
Waitomo Caves located in the North Island of New Zealand. This cave boasts the
largest number of glow worms and highlights one of the natural wonders this
country has to offer. Glow worms or through their scientific name Arachnocampa luminosa are miniature insects
that light up when you glide peacefully through the Waitomo grotto.

The Waitomo
Caves can only be entered by purchasing tickets where a tour guide will explain
the history of these glow worms and the ecological significance of them. The
last part of the tour is where the magic begins where you will blissfully sail
and be mesmerized by the stream of luminescent lights that guide the way to
the end of the tunnel!
Unfortunately
you do have to follow the condition to remain silent and not take photos, otherwise
the noise and flash could potential disrupt their habitat. However overall this
destination is a must see for travelers that are curious to explore what New
Zealand has to offer!
