Location:1227 Waitomo Valley Road, Waitomo
Fitness Test:If the guide(s) on the day have 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.
Pregnancy: We do not recommend abseiling ( rappelling ) during the 1st and 3rd trimester due to the need to wear a tight-fitting harness across your waist during the abseil.
All pregnant clients wishing to participate in one of our adventure options must provide a medical certificate from their General Medical Practitioner confirming that they are fit for abseiling ( rappelling ) and caving.
This policy is required for us to comply with the NZ Adventure Safety Regulations.

From Waitomo Adventures - Haggas Honking Holes
Hey Alireza ! Only the one word in your review - but it's the one we love to hear - thank you so much :) We love this cave. It's such a wacky and different sort of adventure. It's difficult to describe to people what it's going to be like....but once you've been there, you know exactly what we're talking about...I don't think even Disney could improve on what Mother Nature has provided in this underground playground ! Please come back again if you can - we've got plenty more action for an adventurer like you !

One of my best experiences
I will be coming back for the other tours. It was adventurous but different from the regular water activities we get around NZ. I love rock climbing and Abseiling was a whole different experience. The instructors were fantastic, calm and patient with everyone. It got tiring by the end of the journey but worth the achy muscles. Absolutely worth a try if you like trying something new and different. Not for those who are claustrophobic.
