Very nice park!
A lot of hot pools (colourful, stinky, bubbly) and we saw the Lady Knox Geyser at 10:15. Also we went to the mud pool nearby, what was also cool to see.

Before we went to the glowworm caves, we stayed at a free camping spot where we had already seen glowworms.
Waitomo was nice, but very busy and too quick.
