Located right in the heart of the Waiomio Valley, Kawiti Glowworm Caves are home to thousands of luminous glow worms, breath-taking rock formations and lush green rainforest. Our family’s guided tours were first established in the 1950’s by Te Tawai Kawiti, a direct descendant of Hineamaru. Te Tawai wanted to share with visitors the story of the cave, its ancient formations, and the fascinating life cycle of the glowworms that inhabit it. To this day, the descendants of Te Tawai and Hineamaru continue to guide visitors and follow in his footsteps to make the tour as memorable as possible. Nau mai, haere mai.
