Waitomo

▪ caves, New Zealand
      limestone caves, north-central North Island, New Zealand. They lie about 50 miles (80 km) south of Hamilton. Located on a tributary of the Waipa River, the caves are easily accessible for tourists by road. The underground caves have elaborate stalactites, stalagmites, and incrustations, some of which are named (e.g., Bride's Jewels, Organ, White Terrace, Blanket Chamber). The main attraction is a boat journey along the underground river that takes the visitor to Glow-worm Grotto, lit by countless glowworms.
