Pictures speak a thousand words, and these show why we will enjoy the visit to the Waitomo Caves. When you tell me we are going on a short boat ride through caves to see the glowing bellies of thousands of worms...well, I'm a bit skeptical about the experience. However, show me these two photos, and I cannot wait to experience this for myself.
The glow worms proper name is Arachnocampa luminosa, and it is only found in New Zealand. Their luminescent light is similar, to my way of thinking, as seeing a firefly light up the night. Guides will tell us all about the glowworms, and also let us in on the caves historical and geological significance. Should be fun and fascinating!
