Antoinette M4.0Sep 2024Great guide. Caves were amazing. Got to see the glow worms, but thought there would have been a lot more. Glad we visited start of September as the number of glo worms will be less visible in a few weeks.It is very nice to see U!

Marianne B5.0Apr 2024Out of three glow worm experiences (cave kayak in Rotorua, Waitomo tour) this was my favorite.

We were able to see them very close up and capture some amazing photos. Great mix of accessibility and conservation. Plus, farrrrrr less crowded than the Waitomo tours down the street on the day we did both.
