This is the original Waitomo subterranean adventure that will have you climbing and black water tubing, leaping and floating through Ruakuri Cave.
Over three hours you’ll take leaps of faith over cascading waterfalls and float serenely down an underground river as you enjoy the glow worm show on the vaulted limestone galleries up above.
Your journey concludes when you emerge into the sunlight of the Waitomo forest.

Begin your descent into the spectacular Waitomo Caves. Depending on your tour, you might jump off underground waterfalls, squeeze through narrow passageways, or abseil into the caverns.
Experience the highlight of the tour as you float on an inner tube through the serene, glowworm-lit grotto. The bioluminescent glow creates an ethereal atmosphere, making it feel like you’re drifting under a sky full of stars.
For the more adventurous, navigate through gentle underground rapids and cascading waterfalls for a true adrenaline rush.
