This quote has been taken from the 101 Must-Do's For Kiwis.
"The Kawiti Caves are small but beautiful caves located a few kilometres south of Kawakawa in Northland (they are also known as the Waiomio Caves). The caves have been developed for tourists, with wooden walkways and handrails throughout. It's not surprising that the caves are so popular with tourists, with peculiar karst features, stalactite formations and incredible glowworm displays. You'll even meet the 'guardian' of the cave, in the form of a friendly eel. The caves are owned and operated by Te Tawai me Maata Kawiti Whanau Trust."
The cache is located between the car park and the entry to the caves. Satellite reception is not very good, so use the hint too.
Located right in the heart of the Waiomio Valley, the Kawiti Caves are home to thousands of luminous glow worms, breath taking rock formations and lush green rainforest.
Explore the world famous milky way, a cavern filled with glow worms as far as the eye can see. Journey underground through networks of stalactites and stalagmites to hidden chambers like the Waiomio night sky where the glow worms are so close you can almost touch them.
