Great trip

Kaylz 1 January 2020

The trip was great however we very nearly missed it as we walked from our hotel to the address stated on the tickets 585 waitomo caves road. Upon arriving 30 mins before our trip I was told that we were in the wrong place and actually were only 4 minutes away from our hotel. Luckily she rebooked is in for the 2 slots of the day and then we had to race back. This made my dad who is visiting unwel from the rushing around. I advise that you change the address for the caves on the ticket as the couple behind me also missed their tour as they did the same as us.

Well worth it

Ric 21 January 2019

The Waitomo Caves themselves are a wondrous natural attraction but the staff were friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. A very good experience for young and old, conducted at a nice, relaxed pace

Awesome family experience

This was a great experience to do with the family while we were on holiday in NZ. The tour was well organised with plenty of information to keep the whole family interested.
