Waitomo Caves Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Waitomo Glowworm Caves Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Waitomo is around 190 km from Auckland situated on the north island of New Zealand.
I had book the time slot to view some part of the places at their website with a fee. It is know as the best glow worm caves in New Zealand. Parking and dinning are easy to find and plenty at site. I book the triple cave combo that is Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Aranui Cave and Ruakuri Cave at their website for around 100+ NZD. So plan ahead your timing, it need time to travel from 1 site to another. There are guides to show you around at places. The boat trip to the Waitomo Glowworm caves is a WOW. There are also several tour companies organised tour trip to here from Auckland.
While on the North Island of New Zealand I visited the glowworm caves and we rafted. I had whitewater rafted before and was expecting something adventurous like that. However, the water in the glowworm caves was peaceful and lacked some of the adventure I was expecting. This would be a wonderful family adventure.

Explore Tengger Desert with us
20 km deep into the Tengger Desert, the road gets so rugged that first-time visitors would doubt if the desert 🌵has anything worth discovering until you reach the “heart of the Earth ♥️”—Ulaan Nuur. It is translated to “Red Lake” in English. Captured here by @yvlin3019 and @scori1030
Do you think it is like a heart 🫀or a steak 🥩?
📍 Tengger Desert, Inner Mogolia, China 🇨🇳
After seeing salt lakes in the color green, blue and yellow, have you ever seen a ruby salt lake? As the temperature rises, the bacteria in the lake release Astaxanthin and carotenoid that will dye the lake to red under the reflection of sunlight.
🔴 How to get here: located in the deep desert. It is best to go with a local tour guide.
🔴 The best time to visit: Summer. The higher the temperature, the denser the color will be.
