Le guide est sympathique et le ratio visiteurs/guide rend l'expérience unique et enrichissante. On en apprend pas seulement sur les vers luisants. Je recommande!

This day tour was one of the best day in my New Zealand trip! Hobbiton and glowworm cave were both really awesome and unforgettable experiences. Our guide was really fun and nice. Definately worth of the money!

We were able to see the Kiwis up close and they're night enclosure as they fed them. A really awesome thing to experience . The bird sanctuary is clean and blush with beautiful vegetation to house these incredible animals.

We had a fun time watching the kiwi bird running around in the display room and attacking the kiwi keeper while feeding. Many native birds in the park. Staffs are kind and helpful. However the park is rather small.

i loved it when it was feeding times for the kiwis. theres a 20ish year old one and it nibbles at the keeper that was funny. and a wood pigeon that was friendly and it came up close to say hello.

Great way to learn about, not only Kiwi, but other NZ wildlife... We stayed for the talk in the kiwi night house. The lady was a wealth of knowledge!! Only thing I would say could be improved on was, needed more air ventilation/cooling in the viewing corridor where you see the Kiwi’s... When a lot of people are in there listening to the talk, it can get a bit stifling... My children had to go and sit outside while the lady was talking because of this... But other than that, it was great!! Thank you!!

Came specially for the kiwi and it's all worth it. #nzmustdo

Had a brilliant day, beautiful weather. Kids really enjoyed eels being fed

Very pleasant trip to Hobbiton, bus ride from City to Hobbiton and Ruakuri's very informative and entertaining. The driver is very polite. Trip to Hobbiton is worth it! No hassles at all, and the buffet at the Green Dragon pub was great and something to look forward to as well. Ruakuri Cave tour was very enjoyable. Only downside was that we had to wait for a longer time for the bus taking us back to Auckland - and we are not even sure who we should look for or who we are waiting for if not for the lovely lady driver who was taking the other group to Rotorua. All in all, it was a great experience and must try tour while in auckland.

We spent 3 weeks in North and South island and this was the best activity we did. A small group of just 2 of us got the chance to squeeze through tiny gaps and duck underwater to get through certain places all whilst being in an environment covered in glow worms. It was an excellent mix of scenic and scary. We had Chan and Luke guiding us and they even let us do extra challenges again because we enjoyed them so much. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

An excellent adventure from start to finish. Nick made us very welcome at check-in and ramped up our excitement. Then we set off with the friendly Joel who was super safety conscious but still maintained the fun and excitement. We abseiled down waterfalls, crawled through gaps we thought we'd never get through, rocked climbed and saw wonderous natural formations, and of course glowworms. Joel was very knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer and gave us so much interesting information on everything! Would definitely recommend, and would love to return another day for more adventures.

Every tourist and new zealander visiting Waitomo should definitely try this. Very exciting cave, loved the absailing and rock climbing. The guides Chao and Kenny were absolutely outstanding and made the attraction so much better. Will definitelytry to do it again with other friends.

If there is a tour that you should do, this is it! Very enjoyable, extremely professional team with a great sense of humor and even better service! Due to bad weather the cave was flooded, but I was quickly given a (possibly better) alternative. The tour is a perfect mix between being a good challenge and still remaining very safe, the guides know exactly what they are doing and I never felt at any risk. Absolute highlight of my time in new zealand!

Physically and mentally challenging, but incredible, well-experienced and knowledgeable guides helping us along. At each challenge they were telling you what you needed to do, or where you needed to put your feet, or what to hold onto. We felt safe, and well-supported, and finished the day with a full tummy; incredulous that we had achieved such an amazing adventure! Tips for the girls: take a hair tie if your hair is long, and wear long sleeved polyprops under the wetsuit if you feel the cold.

My friend and I initally thought of doing the Lost World 4 hour experience. After learning the 7 hour Epic adventure, we decided to go all out and have never looked back. This 7 hour experience is really EPIC and worth all time and energy invested. Most of the time is spent in water and navigating through rocks in the cave which those who did the 4-hour wont get to experience. In fact, we felt that, except for the abseiling, the experience would be sub-par for those who did the 4 hour one. If you take a look at the photo, the 4 hour tour ends at the ladder and you do a bit of a hike above ground. Truely grateful to be able to be do the 7 hour epic. It does requires some level of fitness and you can do it slow and steady. Our group was able to be ahead of schedule and thus, we get to do a couple more stuff in the cave. In total, there are 3 spots to sit down and rest to see the glow worms (the first spot is where the 4 hour tour ends, the other 2 spots are only available in the 7 hour epic as they are in the caves and they are far better than the first spot) The guides were very experience and were very safety conscious. Thank tou for making this experiece so great for us.

This adventure was at the top of the list for us. We spent 2 weeks in New Zealand visiting both the north and south islands and this was the most fun adventure we had. Our guides Kenny and Teri were phenomenal. Skillful, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and funny! They went out of their was to ensure we had the most fun possible, but always making sure we were safe. At no point did we ever feel scared or worried. This is a must do for anyone with an adventurous soul. We highly recommend it if you are visiting the north island.

Ive been wanting to do this tour for the past 4 years. Price was a big issue for me. Bookme helped to overcome this obstacle. This was an amazing tour. The repell down to the Lost world was absolutely breathtaking. The guides were knowledgable. The caving was easy enough for a first timer. The ladder climb out was adventurous when I turned my headlamp off. I got to feel my way up in the darkness but also got to see the glow worm formations as I made my way up. Not much photos, but what was taken by the guides were awesome. Live in the moment...Great tour...

This is a exhilarating experience not to be missed! Descending through slanting shafts of light, past moss and fern clad walls to a flowing stream 80 metres below the surface is unbelievable! Experienced tour guides share their passion for this special place with humour adding to the adventure. High safety measures are in place as is respect for this delicate environment. An adventure of a life time!

I thoroughly recommend doing this especially in the off season I was the only one on this particular day it was an amazing drive out there my guide TK? Or TJ or .. I’m sorry I forget his nickname but he was a great guy with a fantastic manner and took his time to show me all this wonderland had to offer. Stepping up to the abseil platform my guts churned my pulse quickened and after a safety briefing he said ... now swing over and place your butt on the beam over the deep cavern below ?? It was everything that was advertised and more such an amazing prehistoric world down there ... so your self a favor and jump into the 100 mtr deep abyss and savor every moment Thanks guys for an amazing time Glenn South Australia ???

Amazing adventure regardless of weather this is some of north islands best hidden geological formations.

Waitomo Adventures is a great family-run operator. The staff is very friendly and nice! I was scared of sitting in the void at first, but the tour started with a round of practice to get used to the gear, and our instructor's explanations and professionalism helped me do it. Once started, it is pure beauty, fun and excitement! The 100ù abseil was gorgeous and awesome, and climbing the 30m ladder back up was challenging, and everything in the middle was so cool. I LOVED it! Really recommend. The photos taken by Iain are a great souvenir. Don't hesitate, I believe this is accessible to most people - you need a minimum fitness but average like is no problem! Enjoy!

It was a great day to explore the caves with an amazing guide, TK. Abseiling was just amazing, would love to to back to do the 7 hr tour in future!!

I booked the lost world 4 hour tour with my partner for a 30th birthday gift to myself. We got super lucky, because It turned out that no one else had booked for the tour that day, and it was just the two of us and our guide in the cave so we literally got our own private tour of the lost world. It was a truly amazing experience. The weather was perfect, with just a light drizzle of rain that made everything misty and even more magical. Joel was a fantastic guide; he made us feel completely at ease and was a lot of fun to hang out with.

It really was the lost world, something you would imagine from Jurrasic Park. Hubby and I were the only people booked on the 4hr experience so it was essentially a private tour. I have a very basic level of fitness and whilst I felt challenged, it was a comfortable level of challenge. The abseil itself was great, once explained and you start your descent you see for yourself its not complicated and doesnt rely on strength. Once in the cave itself the magic begins as you can see where you have been and where you now are, puts the size of the cave into perspective. The 30m vertical ladder climb out is not for the faint hearted but there is a hauling mechanism if your arms are feeling tired. We really enjoyed this experience and that it was a day tour as I dont like cold water. An absolute must do, bucket list item. The photos taken are amazing. Very happy!

Amazing! Push your boundaries and book this adventure. It is totally amazing, an experience you will never forget.

Had a wonderful day abseiling into the caves and slowly climbing my way out. The leaders were very experienced and helped my companions who'd never abseiled before enjoy the adventure too. I would highly recommend this.

Great adventure. Felt very safe with two good guides. Fantastic glowworms, exciting abseiling and a good climb 30 meters up a vertical ladder.

It was one lifetime experience, it's a different world down there. Not only abseiling and getting up was fun and bit adventurous the natural beauty of the place is breathtaking. Wish I could spend hours in the peace out there. a must try in Waitomo :)

This was without a doubt the best experience worth paying for! We had an amazing guide Scott whose knowledge and love for the place, made it that much more enjoyable. And just when we thought the abseil and the cave itself was the highlight of our trip, we got told we have the entire cave to ourselves so we got to take our time and really soak in the beauty of it all! Would defiantly do again and your a fool if you pass this opportunity up!

Just... amazing. We got there during a rain shower, but that only made it more magical. I usually have vertigo, but the way the canyon is made tricks the eye and made me really comfortable! ABSOLUTELY a must-do! You don't even need to be extra fit, it's a thrill well worth the price! Our guide, Luke, was super awesome and let us set the pace at key points in the cave. Cannot recommend enough! <3

Super great experience. Does require some level of fitness and flexibility. The small spaces and tight squeezes at points can make you a wee bit anxious but nothing to worrying. It was an amazing activity and with it being winter there was no one else on our tour. Was definitely worth the cold water for a private caving experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable and very personable.
