From Waitomo Adventures - Troll Cave
Cheers Luke ! We really appreciate your review. We're trying to give kids a way to be challenged in a controlled environment and get them to "look beyond their personal comfort envelope". Like many parents, we feel there's just too much bubble wrap out there nowadays. Every child is different and we don't want to "overcook "the challenge factor...So it's a tricky balance tailoring the presentation to individual families. The good news is that with the parents supporting, this becomes a growth experience ... "feeling a sense of uncertainty but taking on the challenge anyway". Great team building for the whole family !

Fantastic
Engaged our senses and imaginations from the moment we knocked 3 times at the door. Our 9 year old felt like she was a character is a great adventure story. Peter who introduced us to the Troll Cave was very engaging and set the scene well. Our 5 year found the cave itself a bit scary but enjoyed the start and end of the tour especially meeting the eel. Lots of fun for the adults too.

Fun but longer than it needs to be
Whilst my partner and I enjoyed it, our son (7) got way too scared and asked to never do it again at the end, which was sad. I think the concept is amazing, but the build up takes too long.

Hi Jenna That's a shame - usually we find that people appreciate the extra time - but alas not in this case. ... Nevertheless, I'll make a prediction... despite what he said, your son may actually want to come back and have another go. This is very common. You may find this surprising, but as they process the emotion of the experience ,they realise that with parental support, they could actually enjoy the challenge if they could just relax a little bit. It's all part of the empowerment process ! The more you "lean into" the experience, the more you get out of it !

Fun with kids
We checked the reviews before booking and it didn’t disappoint us. Kids really enjoyed the cave . Bit scary for my little one and she was laughing after we were out .

Thanks very much Bijay ! Tom the Troll is a very naughty Troll indeed - so we' apologies if his behaviour was somewhat recalcitrant at times. Honestly .... sometimes it's like looking after a giant 2 yr old !

Troll-tastic
Our two boys really enjoyed their time in the troll cave. They were 6 and 4, and were definitely challenged by some parts of it, but the guide is able to change the scary factor according to the group. They both keep talking about it and right now are working on a map of our house for our own house troll. The imagination factoring the Troll Cave is really high with lots of back story and details about trolls. I think it’s really unique for kids to experience such an immersive imaginative space with adults being part of the fantasy. I would recommend to all kids who have an interest in things that are a little bit spooky.
