Fun and active way to experience Waitomo glow worms
I booked this tour for husband and I because the boat tours were sold out during our visit in the area but so glad I found this alternative. This was a fun and adventurous way to see the glow worm caves of Waitomo Caves. Our girl-team guides Alex and Stacy were awesome and very attentive to the safety of guests on our Labyrinth tour. Only wish the glow worms had been glowier. Definitely recommend this as a more active and adventurous way to experience Waitomo caves.

Great tour and amazing...
Great tour and amazing experience! It was an early day as there is quite a bit of driving but our guide stopped a couple of times and was attentive to what the group wanted. The Waitomo caves were so cool and a fun story and local guide. Te Puie was a great demonstration, geyser viewing and even got to see some kiwi birds. A long day but well worth it!!

Great value and will do the longer adventure next time!
Great fun and good safety focus! The guides were well trained and encouraging everyone, with good tips to stay warm in the dead of winter!

Exceeded expectations
One of the best experiences! I had no expectations just that my son has always wanted to see a cave since he was 2. Our tour guide was very friendly and funny, the history was very interesting. I would go back again. I left feeling cleansed and calm ☺️

Black water rafting
We had an amazing experience with Waitomo Black Water Rafting. Our three guides were fantastic—extremely supportive, professional, and always focused on ensuring our safety, especially during the more challenging sections of the course. Their calm and encouraging approach made the adventure both exciting and reassuring, as there were sections that were very slippery, uneven, and hard to climb. Highly recommend!

Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves tours
Nelson, our driver, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all things New Zealand. He made the two- to three-hour trips there and back nearly as interesting as the tours themselves.

A must do in New Zealand
Fantastic experience. Tum, our guide, was very informative. He made the tour fun and interactive. We experienced a fly hatching from the glow worm cocoon. Tum was genuinely very excited at capturing this moment he displayed such passion for his job. The glow worms and caves were absolutely phenomenal!

It was pretty fun,...
It was pretty fun, beautiful out there at Waitomo caves. I should’ve known the time would be used to teach people about the caves but it was really funny and fun to learn about. My only complaint was that I wish the caves experience was longer but great for a family.
