Customer Reviews
Absolutely fantastic tour! Christine and Vaughan showed us a fun and interactive caving experience! The cave itself is amazing, but add the massive amounts of glow worms and hot tubbing to end the day and you've got a 10 out of 10 tour! Thanks Waitomo Experience, we couldn't have asked for a better time!
An absolute highlight of our vacation! Our tour with "The Waitomo Experience" was absolutely incredible. We were guided by Vaughan, who was not only extremely friendly and helpful, but also super cool to hang out with and full of fascinating knowledge about the glowworms, the cave and its history. The entire adventure was amazing from start to finish. We climbed, swam, floated and squeezed our way through the cave, surrounded by countless glowworms, that created the most magical atmosphere. What I loved most, unlike the big commercial tours where you get rushed through with huge groups, this was super small, personal and unhurried. We had enough time to take everything in and enjoy the adventure at our own pace and also prepare comfortably before entering the cave. To top it all off, we ended the experience relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the beautiful farm landscape. It was the perfect way to finish an unforgettable tour. I can't recommend "The Waitomo Experience" enough. If you're looking for a unique, exciting, and truly memorable adventure in New Zealand, this is the place to go!
This is the tour you need to choose if you’re looking to experience the Waitomo caves! The Waitomo Experience runs smaller group tours where you get to go to the extreme - climbing, tubing, swimming and exploring the caves. Ollie, our guide, was spectacular - teaching us about the caves, glow worms and making sure we were having a thrilling time throughout, while also ensuring our safety. This isn’t one of those boring tours where you walk along a guided path; you even get to go full dark at times to witness the glow worms at true brightness! At the end of all the adventure, you’ll get to relax in one of the cedar hot tubs - a perfect end. Make the right choice by selecting The Waitomo Experience!
