In the North Island, it would be Waitomo Caves. In the South Island, there is a cave complex in Nelson region, and it contains Harwood's Hole, an exceptionally deep cave system, still being explored. Further south, at Te Anau, there are the Te Anau glow worm caves. Harwood's Hole is not a commercial venture, because of dangers and the level of experience needed. The Waitomo and Te Anau caves both have organized tours.
