An awesome experience
I would 100% recommend this tour! You start off meeting up at the office, then take a 15min drive to gear up and practice abseiling. Wear loose fitting pants, thick socks and a long sleeve top. You are then transported to the cave, where you enter via a 20m and 30m abseil. The cave is absolutely beautiful, with limestone formations that are older than you can comprehend. The guides are friendly and knowledgable, and happy to answer questionS. We stopped for a chocolate and cup of water, then went zip lining through a pitch black cavern. The guides took free photos for us ton download at the end of the trip. You spend a good 2hours underground. Worth every cent, do it!

Out of this world
I had the best time in Benedict's cavern. It was like being on another planet.The guides were amazing and made as feel safe the whole time. I can't wait to get back and take another trip with Waitomo Adventures. Bring on the next time.

mitigé
nous avons apprécié la descente en rappel et la tyrolienne cela varie des tours classics. néanmoins, nous avons trouvé dommage de faire des groupes de 8 et de passer beaucoup de temps à attendre. Cela pourrait être judicieux de faire des groupes de niveaux.
