The Waitomo Caves are located in the southern Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand, 20 kilometres northwest of Te Kuiti.

The limestone caverns are a popular tourist destination, as the caves are easily accessible. The main caves are Waitomo Cave , Ruakuri Cave , and Aranui Cave . They are noted for their stalactite and stalagmite displays, and for the presence of glowworms. Glowworm grotto in Waitomo Cave is justifiably regarded as one of the country's most impressive caving spectacles.

The word Waitomo is Maori for water passing through a hole.
