4.0Great 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!

5.0I really enjoyed this cave tour. Our guide, Wi was very good, with lots of interesting facts and stories about the cave. We enjoyed the glow worms, and would have like to have a bit more time to view them, felt a bit hurried along at times. I thought the caves and glow worms were a great combination. On the way out, Wi sang a maori song and it echoed in the stairwell, it was very beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.
