Glow worm caves

Our farm stay was only 8kms from the caves and $30, compared to $55. We had a leisurely breakfast then packed up, it doesnt take long to pack up, then moossied on down to the caves.
 There were the glow worm caves or a combo of that and two other caves to explore.

We opted just to do the glow worms, that was a 45  minute tour and we did have other places to be.

Great tour, had to duck our heads for a little way then jt opened out, had some stairs to go down, then our guide sang a Maori love song as  noone wanted to volunteer.

No photos or noise when we got closer to glow worms. They were just fascinating we did have a torch light shone on some for a few seconds to show us how they were there. Then it was down and into the boats in the dark.

Once we were all in, we glided off. The crewy pulled the boat along by a series of ropes along the roof and bars along the walls. Boat ride was about ten minutes we disembarked then up several stairs but they were on a slope back to the reception area and of course through the souvenir shop. We had had our photo taken on the wat in but we declined to buy one.
