Our destination is the Kawiti Glowworm Caves where a local Māori guide will lead you through underground caverns to see the glow worms and tell you how the caves came to be found. Your 30-minute guided tour will follow a wooden boardwalk (with handrails) through a 200-metre limestone cave system. Once inside, you will see thousands of glow worms spread across the ceiling surrounded by breath taking stalactites and stalagmites.

Then, a short drive to Kawakawa, location of the world famous "Hundertwasser Toilets" one of the few public toilets seen as an international work of art, designed by the expatriate Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, features the use of recycled materials from the local community.

The lookout at the Golf Club offers spectacular photo opportunities looking out over Waitangi Bay.

Here you will see Kauri trees that are over one thousand years old. Your guide will also point out other trees and birds of interest.
