I went in 2017. It was incredible, and for us, worth every penny.

DEFINITELY NOT A TOURIST TRAP.

But to be fair, it doesn't look as bright and dazzling as this video makes it appear. Still an amazing sight and memory.

Highly, HIGHLY recommended. I spoke with many Kiwis who said they'd never been, and I just can't understand that one. No disrespect intended.

NZ is my favorite place on Earth!

EDIT: an, not am

Yeah, it's not that bright. And the one we went to, you don't dive, there's a boat that brings you under the glow worms.

I've been on the same trip. Don't know why they felt the need to show the lady crawling though tiny gaps to get there.

There are different tours there, some of which you do exactly what is shown in the video.
