Waitomo Caves

Cruise on a silent black river under a canopy of a thousand glow worm lights, past million year old rock pillars...

The Waitomo Caves are one of New Zealand's top tourist attractions.  The opportunity to glide silently on an underground river through a massive cave system with a canopy of glow worm lights overhead and past thousand year old limestone pillars is an unforgettable experience. 
The more adventurous can try black water rafting (underground river rafting) on inner tubes, abseiling (rappelling) into 100 metre deep holes, down underground waterfalls and other thrills - no experience required ! Above ground you can explore the area by horse, watch rabbit shearing, see and buy authentic Maori weaving and visit some amazing natural limestone formations and waterfalls in the local forests.
