Formerly Glowing Adventures. We're now Down to Earth! Learn more...

November through May is our busiest time. As a small, family-run company, we offer just two tours per day—morning and afternoon—and will be booked out every day through this period. To avoid disappointment, please book early. If we’re fully booked online, unfortunately no other options are available.

Using a GPS? Read This First!

If you enter our official address (1199 Oparure Road, Waitomo District or Te Kuiti, depending on your GPS), it might take you past our entrance—about 500 meters too far!

We’re not sure why, but most GPS systems struggle to find us. So, trust our signs over your GPS when you get close!
