The Waitomo Caves A truly fabulous sight in New Zealand can be found on the North Island of New Zealand. These famous karst caves are a true masterpiece, which nature herself created over millions of years. Once upon a time there was an ocean at the bottom of which large formations of limestone were growing, creating a whole labyrinth of passages. Later, when the water receded, the cave system was formed, of which there are about 150. But the most important feature of the caves is that their vaults are inhabited by amazing organisms - small fireflies, creating a gentle blue glow, reminiscent of the night sky.
