There are so many nooks and crannies here. Just when you think you have seen it all, hidden around corners there is much more to see. Had a great time, gorgeous weather and all creatures were out and about. Harrison the capuchin was a delightful surprise. Will recommend to others and we will be back one day

I cannot fault the boat company at all. But I can fault DOC. We turn up at the island to the museum being closed, the cafe closed, and no way to use the two bbqs there. The electric one was disconnected and the gas one had no bottle attached. We walked around all day with uncooked meat in our bag. Lucky we packed chips so had sandwiches instead. Really let down by that. The boat offers a bbq lunch but as we read there were bbqs on the island we didnt take advantage of this but wish we did. I've rated the experience great as it was nothing the provider could have done the issues are with DOC which was highly disappointing. Make sure you get your facts sorted before you go or you could end up like us. Would of booked the onboard lunch if we knew. Hindsight!

The lost world Waitomo Adventures - Lost World Tour - 4 hrs

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!

We had planned our trip here almost a year in advance. Three adults and we had a blast. Not only do you have the amazing setting in the back drop for your photos but you get to walk amongst the animals in the open paddock which you tend to not have at farm parks. We enjoyed feeding all the animals and the cheeky pig who gives you a smile showing all teeth and of course the cheeky sheep who gives you a sneaky leg tap so that you will feed her. We had a lovely time feeding the animals, taking photos and enjoying the peaceful setting. Please visit, this is really cool and ideal for all ages.

My husband had barely smiled all morning until we got here. You couldn't wipe the smile from his face for the rest of the day after this. The south island sure know how to have fun. These go fast and handle beautifully. A really well laid out track. I went around with hubby twice and had to bail as he was too fast for me. I really recommend this to anyone wanting an experience they won't forget in a hurry in such an amazing setting. We will be booking in again next time we return to the region. This is not a farm quad bike it's the real deal. Come prepared for thrills and fun! Thanks for having us
