Waitomo Caves
​

The Waitomo Caves is a village and solutional cave system forming a major tourist attraction in the northern King Country region of theNorth Island of New Zealand, 12 kilometres northwest of Te Kuiti. The community of Waitomo Caves itself is very small, though the village has many temporary service workers living there as well. The word Waitomo comes from the Māori language wai meaning water andtomo meaning a doline or sinkhole; it can thus be translated to be water passing through a hole. The caves are formed in  Oligocenelimestone.

The world famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves are situated in the King Country, 3 hrs. drive from Auckland, New Zealand. Glowworms are insects that can be found in their millions hanging from ceilings and walls within the cave networks. The caves themselves are the result of millions of years of accumulated marine deposits of corals, seashells, fish skeletons and many more organisms on what was once seabed
