World's Best Caves: Waitomo Glow Worm Caves

July 30, 2007 at 4:36 PM | 0 Comments

The Waitomo Glow Worm Caves offer folks one of the most unique cave adventures in the world. First, you abseil down a dark tiny hole. Next, you jump on a tube for a three hour black water rafting expedition through the dark rapids. Finally, you stare up at the cave ceiling and check out the star like glo worms. No not the Glo Wroms made in Pawtucket, Rhode Island back in the eighties, we are talking about the other glo worms of the larvae variety.

In any event, tramping through the Waitomo Caves is an extremely cool way to spend your day on New Zealand's North Island. Who knows, maybe sometime soon the dudes from Flight of the Concord's will sing about it--hope so. Until then, check out the map video of a Kiwi doing the cave dance with a splash.
