Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Waitomo, New Zealand
We owe a hearty thanks to New Zealand’s indigenous Maori people for discovering this North Island gem. Waitomo’s limestone caves are filled with stalactites and stalagmites, and the most magical ones are lit by thousands and thousands of luminescent glow worms. You can see them up close and personal on a psychedelic boat ride underground, along the subterranean Waitomo River, through what’s been dubbed the Glowworm Grotto.
