Book Now - CAVE & KIWI COMBO: Glowworm Cave + Ruakuri Cave + Otorohanga Kiwihouse

PLEASE NOTE - DUE TO LIMITED CAPACITY YOUR COMBO MAY BE BOOKED OVER MULTIPLE DAYS. CHECK TOUR TIMES BEFORE PROCESSING.

If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable glowworm experience, then our most popular combo is for you! Go with the glow and visit both the world-famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves, as well as enchanting Ruakuri Cave. Discover thousands of illuminating glowworms as you explore these glittering underground worlds on two walking tours.

The Otorohanga Kiwi House is a registered charity so every visit to the Kiwi House supports our conservation work. Visits to the park are self-guided with guaranteed opportunities to see active kiwi in our nocturnal enclosures. Experience NZ’s unique forest birds and tuatara in NZ’s largest fee-flight enclosure. Meet kea, kaka, whio and other endangered NZ birds and reptiles up close at our daily scheduled keeper talks (Covid-19 restrictions may apply). Learn about our breeding programmes to help conserve NZ’s taonga species. Admission to the park is open for two consecutive days. Opening hours are 10am-4pm daily. We are open every day except Dec 25th.

Average Duration: Allow 3 hours for your cave tours
