Subjects : The wonderful "rooms" of the underground route of the caves with stalactites, stalagmites, curtains and many other truly remarkable formations. If it were possible to stop (but with the tour you can not do in general) would be wonderful too long exposure time of the main cave, visited by boat since it is full of water, and on top it is dotted the blue glow of the bioluminescent worms , the Gloworm, which give the name to the complex of caves; however, even a simple video of the time "Starry" in question will be beautiful.

Recommended equipment : It would be highly recommended tripod for long indoor displays, but since during the tours usually there is neither the possibility nor the material time to stop, usually you can leave it connected to the backpack or at home. What it really is necessary to have instead are bright and camera bodies goals with good seal at high ISO (and steady hand)! So wide-angle, super wide-angle, or zoom covering the wide-angle focal lengths, all with the brightest maximum apertures as possible.

Best months : Being a cave, there is not a particular period in which advisable to visit it than others, as it is indoors underground.

How to get there : Rental car the first and most convenient way to reach the place of ticket sales. From there, the caves are mutually minivans tour, that will take you directly to the site you want to visit the cave (and take you back), since there is more of a neighborhood.

Visits : Entrance fee, there are packages that include a visit to a cave alone, two or all three of the caves of Waitomo area - with or without a guided tour. Timetables and opening periods are on display on the site that specifically in the target board.

Notes : Get ready to moisture ... PS: also the company that runs the site from the tourism point of view offers the possibility of rafting and caving in the Cave Ruakuri site (one of three caves).
