Itinerary
This tour takes you through Pukekawa, Auckland’s oldest park, built on a 100,000-year-old ancient volcano from the Pleistocene era. You’ll explore stunning waterfalls, lush Nikau palms, and the magical glowworms that make this place truly special.
While it doesn’t feature as many glowworms as Waitomo Caves, this tour offers the perfect opportunity to see them up close in Auckland city—without the long travel times, high entry fees, or crowded spaces. You’ll learn all about these incredible creatures, observe their bioluminescence in person, and capture amazing photos of this natural wonder.
