Fitness Test: If the guide on the day has any doubt about a client’s fitness they may ask them to prove it by completing a fitness test. One quick and simple test we may use is “to step up and down a 20 cm (8 inches) step not less than 45 times in 60 seconds”. We strongly recommend clients complete this test before they book their activity and before they travel to Waitomo. Clients may also be requested to submit to breath-testing for alcohol or other drugs. Where appropriate, guides may at their sole discretion cancel a departure or remove an unsuitable client from a departing trip for any safety-related reason.

What an experience! It was definitely more intense than what I thought it would be. But our two amazing and friendly guides Harris and Craig made us feel assured multiple times throughout the experience so we were able to enjoy the activity even more! Absolutely amazing! Cant wait to come back and check out other activities!

Half day caving adventure
Excellent day in Waitomo navigating through a cave. Our guides drove us down to the start of the cave. The day and what the plan was outlined to us very clearly with some excellent comedy along the way. We were kitted up with our wet suits, helmet and light and off we went into the cave. Inside the cave we had a lot of fun finding tight gaps to squeeze through, mud to crawl in and water to swim and float through. Even though it was winter (and we had just jumped off a plane from hot LA) we were not cold. In the middle of the trip we had a hot drink and snack. That was very nice and rewarding. I highly recommend this experience. It’ was an awesome day that our group very much enjoyed.
