Venture off the beaten path with an excursion to two enduring landmarks that inspires awe and reverence. First you'll head into the subterranean world of Kawiti Glow-worm Caves where a guide will lead you along a wooden boardwalk through a 200-meter (656-foot) limestone cave system. Once inside, you'll see glow worms surrounded by breathtaking stalactites and stalagmites. Along the way, your guide will explain the glow worm's life cycle and the intricate webs used to catch their prey. Your next destination is equally impressive. Did you know that massive kauri trees once covered most of the Bay of Islands? Today, these mighty giants are protected in the Puketi Forest. A guided walk along a boardwalk through the magnificent forest of hardwoods, podocarps and kauri affords you the opportunity to stand in awe at these imposing trees plus unique plants and noisy birdlife.
