Magic Glow of Waitomo
Magic Glow of Waitomo.
Whatever thrills any visitor may expect from the Glow-worm Grotto of Waitomo, the reality will always exceed anticipation. It is a subterranean fairy palace of marble, lit by myriads of glow-worms, whose lights suggest countless stars in a strange heaven, wonderfully reflected on the still surface of an underground river.
Other caves of this region have fascinating sculptures of glistening stalactites and stalagmites in various combinations and colours.
