Waitomo Caves
The
Waitomo Caves
are located in the southern
Waikato
region of the
North Island
of
New Zealand
, 12 kilometres northwest of
Te Kuiti
. The
limestone
caverns are a popular
tourist
destination, as the
caves
are easily accessible. The main caves are
Waitomo Cave
,
Ruakuri Cave
, and
Aranui Cave
. They are noted for their
stalactite
and
stalagmite
displays, and for the presence of
glowworms
.
Glowworm grotto
in Waitomo Cave is justifiably regarded as one of the country's most impressive caving spectacles. The word
Waitomo
comes from the
Maori language
wai
meaning water and
tomo
meaning doline or sinkhole, it can be translated to be
water passing through a hole
.
