What makes Ultimate Bay of Islands Tour in Waitangi and Caves a unique experience ?
You will enjoy a guided tour along a wooden boardwalk through a 200m limestone cave system, featuring stunning formations like giant stalactites and stalagmites formed over hundreds of thousands of years. As you are captivated by thousands of luminous glowworms illuminating the cavern's ceilings and walls, a local guide will explain the life cycle of the New Zealand glowworm, as well as the rich history and incredible culture that these caves hold!
Like nothing you've ever seen before, golden orbs perch on the grass tuft roof of this truly unique public washroom! Austrian architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser lived in Kawakawa from the mid-'70s to his death in 2000 and gifted the toilets to the town. Be warned - he didn't like using straight lines, so this might be one of the most fascinating designs you encounter!
