Photography: Personalised photos are provided to clients via internet at no extra charge. No client photography equipment is permitted. Please inquire if you require a private photography tour.
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.

Must Try
Amy was an amazing guide who was knowledgeable about the area as well. TUMU TUMU TOOBING was a good starting point for people who want to try caving with enough chill points as there are excitements
From Waitomo Adventures - Black Water Rafting
Thanks Peg ! Your kind words are much appreciated. Hopefully we can get you back here in the future to try out some even more amazing options in our Underground Playground :)

Amazing adventure
If you have any doubts about doing this experience, i can tell you, you wont regret it. Its the best experience ive ever done. Its a chance in a life time to spend 4 hours in a cave, being led by our wonderful guide Harrison. He is very informed and you will come away with knowledge and best of all its so much fun! The whole experience exceded my expectations 10 fold, and the lovely owner of the company will keep you entertained on your bus journey to and from the cave . My two teenage boys didnt want to go, but had the best time. Thankyou so much team.

Thanks Leah! What an awesome mum :) We just love that we've been able to show you part of our underground playground and give those teenagers something a bit different to think about! We're so lucky in NZ to be able to do this stuff. ...Maybe you should consider "upping the anti" and coming back sometime for THE HAGGAS HONKING HOLES - it's next level.

Tumu tumu tubing
An epic experience! A good mix of caving and tubing. It was good getting close up looks at stalactites and glow worms as well as plenty of information from our guide.

Waitomo black water rafting
This was such an incredible experience! Amy and Harrison were fantastic guides and were super knowledgeable about the environment. This is definitely a must do experience for local and international tourists. I would recommend everyone to do this experience, there is nothing quite like it! I will absolutely be coming back to Waitomo again!
From Waitomo Adventures - Black Water Rafting
Thanks very much Hannah ! I suspect that you're sort of person that would have fun anywhere - we're just happy that you chose to come & play with us!! :)

Great fun
I was hesitant given my claustrophobia but ended up having a blast. Joel was a fantastic guide and made us feel safe but also gave us opportunities to challenge ourselves. He also had great information to share with us and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the glowworms. It was also great that he took photos for us and shared them with us without an extra fee. Would highly recommend this to anyone.
