Kawiti Waiomio Caves, Northland
The Kawiti Caves are a few kilometres south of Kawakawa; they’re also known as the Waiomio Caves. This cave system attracts many visitors with its bizarre karst features, stalactite formations and spectacular glow worm display. The ceiling of the cave looks like the night sky - each glow worm is a blue-green coloured star. The family running tours of the cave are descendents of Chief Kawiti, a hero who fought alongside Hone Heke at Ruapekapeka.
