Top Waitomo Extreme Sports

Many visitors to the Waitomo Caves stick to the main tourist route, with a calm boat ride. But for a more energetic, adventurous experience, join this small-group tour to the less-visited Okohua Glowworm Cave of the larger Waitomo complex. Wade through water, climb over limestone formations, and float on a tube along the underground river while black-water rafting. After getting wet, enjoy a relaxing soak in an open-air hot tub.

Experience one of the wonders of New Zealand’s natural world on this glowworm caving adventure in Waitomo. Pull on your boots and helmet before heading through the private farmland and native forest to the Mangarongapu Cave system with a local guide and small group. With your headlamp to light the way, hike around huge boulders and through shallow streams, and marvel at the millions of bright green glowworms illuminating the rocky limestone.
