What you can expect

  • The only place in the world where you can see glowworms in the heart of a city!

    Step into the enchanting world of New Zealand glowworms without leaving the city. This unique Auckland glowworm tour takes you into Pukekawa, within the historic Auckland Domain – a 100,000-year-old Pleistocene-era volcanic landscape and Auckland's oldest park. Discover magical glowworms illuminating the ancient volcanic terrain, hidden waterfalls and lush native bush.

    This is Auckland's only true guided glowworm experience, offering an intimate encounter with these bioluminescent creatures in their natural habitat. Unlike crowded tourist attractions, the Auckland Domain glowworm experience provides barrier-free viewing, unrestricted photography and the freedom to observe glowworms up close in a peaceful natural setting.

    Your experience includes guided exploration of the Auckland Domain's ancient volcanic terrain, close-up viewing of glowworms in their natural habitat, hidden waterfalls and native nikau palm forests, fascinating insights into the glowworm life cycle and behaviour, and unrestricted photography opportunities – all in a convenient central Auckland location.

    Perfect for nature enthusiasts seeking an intimate, uncrowded experience, travellers wanting to discover glowworms in Auckland, photographers looking for unrestricted access, and families and couples seeking a unique evening activity.

    Along the way, discover the magical bioluminescence of New Zealand glowworms, the Auckland Domain's volcanic origins and geological features, lush native bush and hidden waterfalls, the Domain's rich natural and cultural history, and expert commentary on glowworm ecology and behaviour.

    This tour showcases glowworms in an open natural environment rather than in caves. While the population is smaller than in dedicated cave systems, you'll enjoy the unique advantage of barrier-free viewing, unrestricted photography and a peaceful atmosphere – all within the beautiful Auckland Domain, right in the heart of Auckland city.
