The Waitomo Twin Caves Discovery combines two iconic caves: the Glowworm Cave and Ruakuri Cave.
Glowworm Cave: Famous for its glowworms that light up the cave ceiling, this tour includes a guided walk through limestone formations and a silent boat ride under thousands of glowworms. Highlights include the Cathedral, known for its acoustics, and the mesmerizing glowworm grotto.
Ruakuri Cave: This cave offers a more adventurous experience, featuring intricate limestone formations, underground rivers, and close-up views of glowworms. Highlights include the spiral entrance, stunning stalactites and stalagmites, and glowworms visible from walkways.
Both tours provide an unforgettable experience—Glowworm Cave focuses on the magical glowworm display, while Ruakuri offers a deeper exploration of underground wonders.

Very good tour with Flexi...

5.00Very good tour with Flexi tour. Spacious car and good guide/ driver. Tour was paced well and both Waitomo and Rurakuri are gorgeous. I was travelling my mother with some mobility issues. Waitomo was very easy and the boat ride was ethereal. Rurakuri is a long walk and while coming back our caves tour guide helped mum with wheelchair which was absolutely brilliant. One should do both the caves since they are distinctly different and gorgeous.
Stunning twin caves

5.00Our guide and driver Ambrose is excellent. The instructions and interpretations given by him were very clear. Both Waitomo glowworm cave and Ruakuri caves are absolutely amazing. Ambrose also drove us to Hamilton Garden and Mercer to have a look on the longest river in NZ(Waikato River). Definitely worth to visit these places.
Awesome caves and gardens experience!

5.00I was so glad I did both caves. Each cave offered a different experience and the two combined really gave a full experience. We also did the Hamilton Gardens and though it was winter it was absolutely stunning and needs to be a must do, but you may not make it if your cave tours get scheduled late in the day, which the tour operator has little control over. This was overall a great experience and if you are looking for an option that doesn't include Hobbiton this is the one you should go with!
