To see the glowworms, I tried the Waitomo tour, with the caves. I much preferred seeing them through this kayak tour. We go up the river before nightfall, on the way, we meet wild geese and the guide tells us a little about the history of the Waikato River. We cross a breathtaking canyon then we stop for a snack accompanied by a hot drink, before leaving again when night falls. There, we let ourselves glide with the current, crossing the canyon again, in complete darkness, little by little the glowworms appear, a magnificent spectacle.
