Underworld Adventures

Underworld Adventures is based in Charleston, New Zealand and offers a unique and immersive experience into the subterranean wonders of the Paparoa National Park. Embarking on the Glowworm Cave Tour, visitors are transported via the Rainforest Train through lush native bush to the entrance of the Metro Cave / Te Ananui Cave system.

Inside, explorers are guided through expansive limestone chambers adorned with striking stalactites and stalagmites, culminating in the mesmerizing glow of thousands of Arachnocampa luminosa—New Zealand’s native glowworms—illuminating the cave’s ceilings like a starlit sky. This eco-tour is designed for all ages and fitness levels, providing a safe and enriching journey into one of the country’s most pristine and unspoiled cave systems.

With small group sizes and expert local guides, the tour offers an intimate and educational adventure into New Zealand’s underground beauty.
