Glowworm caves, New Zealand

NZ glowworms are closely related to Australian glowworms which have very similar appearance and behaviour. New Zealand glowworms are larger and have bigger lights. They seem to also thrive in much larger colonies.
On a Spellbound glowworm tour in New Zealand, you will not only find out more about these fascinating and almost magical little creatures, but you will view them up close in their natural habitat. We will be able to show you all their life cycle stages and explain the adaptations they use to live in a cave.
New Zealand glowworms live all over New Zealand; they’re found in forest settings, often on damp overhanging stream banks and very commonly in caves which seem to give the glowworms the best habitat of all.
