The Waitomo Glowworm Caves in New Zealand are renowned for their stunning limestone formations and unique glowworm population. These caves are home to thousands of glowworms, specifically the species Arachnocampa luminosa, which emit a luminescent blue-green light. Visitors can take guided boat tours through the caves to witness this natural phenomenon, as the glowworms create a starry ambiance on the cave ceilings. The Waitomo caves also feature impressive stalactites and stalagmites, and the guided tours provide insights into the geological and historical significance of the area.
