Aranui cave

Today we did the twin cave tour at Waitomo Caves.  It was absolutely stunning.
There was no cameras allowed in the first Waitomo glow worm cave as the glow worms don't like the noises and flashes.  The glow worms were beautiful, and the boat ride under them quite surreal.

We next did the Aranui cave.  It was full of stalagmites and stalactites.  According to our tour guides today, they grow at a rate of only 1cm per 200 years.  The Aranui cave was first discovered while pig hunting.

The two tours were wonderful and the caves were amazing.  Here are some photos of the Aranui cave at Waitomo Caves, New Zealand.

This was definitely a showcase for something that takes Time and is Beautiful
