== Tourist caves == [[File:Waitomo Stream.jpg|thumb|Waitomo Stream flows beneath Ruakuri natural arch.]] Companies specialise in leading tourists through the caves of the area, from easily accessible areas with hundreds of tourists per hour in the peak season, to [[extreme sports]], like crawls into cave systems, which are only seen by a few tourists each day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/Attractions-g616349-Activities-c42-Waitomo_Caves_Waitomo_District_Waikato_Region_North_Island.html|title=Waitomo Caves Tours|publisher=Trip Advisor|access-date=5 May 2025}}</ref> The caves are noted for their [[stalactite]] and [[stalagmite]] displays, and (in the caves with streams running through) for the presence of glowworms (the fungus gnat ''[[Arachnocampa luminosa]]'').
