Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Surreal

Oct 2022

Like stepping back in time! So peaceful and surreal and simply amazing.

The path was closed, so like others before us, we snuck through the barrier to get the full experience.

One of the best free experinces we've ever done!

Not open

Jul 2022 • Solo

The walk is currently closed off after the swing bridge. You can’t actually see it at all. The road to get there is very windy.

Nice walk

Apr 2022 • Family

This is well worth seeing while in Waitomo. Toilet at the start available, walk is in good condition. Loop walk follows around farm land, just follow the markers and it takes you back to the carpark. Do the Marokopa Falls, Piripiri Cave Walk also while visiting this walk. They are all on the same road.

Fabulous natural scenery

Apr 2022

A lovely little track into the natural bridge. Reasonably good wheelchair access along the gravel paths and boardwalks but the track could do with some maintenance.

Fascinating Limestone Structure and Riverside Baordwalk

Dec 2021

Nice little riverside boardwalk leading to some stairs and an overhead limestone 'bridge'. Well worth checking out. There is also a short loop track available which takes you across some farm land before heading back to the car park. There is a toilet at the start of the walk. We would also recommend checking out Ruakuri walkway, Piripiri Cave, The Waitomo walkway, Opapaka Pa walkway and the Marokopa Falls, which are all free and nearby.

A surreal walk through mother nature's creation

Aug 2021

A nice easy walk, approx 40 mins drive from Waitomo village. I also did the 10-minute walk starting from the natural bridge that leads around to the car park, that's also nice to do on a dry day, it would be a mudslide after it rains.

Amazing

Jul 2021

Amazing experience - this is a short easy walk with swing bridges, amazing rock formations and boardwalks. Take a warm jacket and good walking shoes. Well worth the short effort!

Stunning

May 2021

A short walk from the road and well worth the time. Enjoy the swing bridge on the way, see fossils in the rocks up at the viewing points.
