We did the Lost Word Epic 7 Hour tour, and it was breathtaking! (And not just because of the cold water we traversed through!) Starting off with the 100m abseil was amazing, and then continuing through the cave, climbing over huge rocks, going through the underground river (don't worry, the wetsuits kept us warm), jumping off rock ledges into the water below, and finishing with the glowworm cavern, all made for an excellent adventure!! Our tour guides, Teri and Kenny, were fantastic guides and kept us safe and engaged the whole time. Plus, the provided lunch in the cave along with hot tea or coffee was a very nice touch. It is a fairly physically demanding journey, and I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone wanting a slightly more intense and invigorating caving experience! 5 Stars!
If you have kids under ten this is the perfect little adventure for kids and adults alike. We had an absolute blast and the tour guide was absolutely brilliant and made it all so cool and believable! Wouldn’t recommend if your kids scare very easily but I think they do adjust the tour depending on what you put in the questionnaire before the tour starts.
Highly recommend it as a family activity or even if you just want to have a laugh and giggle with a bunch of mates.
Enjoyed a day if caving with Waitomo Adventures and will remember it ! Amazing experiences with amazing guides, they love their job.
How to honeymoon 101...start your trip off by immediately doing the Lost World 7hr Epic Tour! You will NOT regret it! Gav and TK were both such great guides, ensuring we were safe while also ensuring we had plenty of adrenaline pumping throughout the experience!
Without giving away too much, I'd just say, you can't go wrong with this unique experience. The trek is full of variety and adventure at every turn! I had gone to see glowworms, and while we saw plenty of them (at the end there is a great resting stop to just lay under them as if they were stars), I'd say they were overshadowed by the entire adventure!
We had debated doing the black water rafting options with other companies but after talking to others while on our travels, we 100% know we made the right choice by going with Waitomo Adventures. So if you're thinking about visiting the Waitomo caves, do it with these guys! They know what they're doing!
We were originally booked to do the lost world 4hr cave tour with 100m abseil but decided to upgrade to the 7hr cave tour and we’re so glad we did! The guides (Gav, Chris and Ben) were great - competent, relaxed and fun, they knew the cave system inside out and how to get the most out of our visit - jumping off rocks, climbing and squeezing through the caves and showing us the most amazing glow worms. The pace was really good with places to rest but enough activities to keep you warm, plus the group was small so you weren’t having to wait around for everyone (5 guests on the tour plus 2.5 guides - Ben was in training he doesn’t count as a full guide yet! Sorry Ben 😉!) The lunch and dinner was great, all locally made bread etc and the homemade white chocolate and raspberry muffins were so good. Definitely felt like we had earned the huge BBQ at the end and safe to say we slept like babies when we got back to our accommodation. The highlight of our trip so far and I would highly recommend it to anyone (so long as you are fairly fit - able to walk/scramble a few km, and have a good sense of fun/adventure)!
Lost World 4 hour tour today with Craig and Zara. My husband and I had an epic time. Craig was an excellent guide, informative, enthusiastic and patient! The decent was awe-inspiring and trek through the cave simply amazing. Highly recommend!
