On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer.
On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer. Went to two caves the first, after a short walkthrough bush we entered the cave and then got into a rubber raft where we were pulled along the underground stream , looking up at the ceiling it was covered with glow-worms. Very pretty & fascinating. After a coffee break we went into the second cave where we saw lots of stalagmites and stalactites and even the bones of an ancient extinct bird, the Moa. The guide was very knowledgeable and told us how the rock formations were formed. An excellent tour.JudithAustralia - 10Scored 10
Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave.
Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave. The tour guide was well spoken and clear and sung beautifully to demonstrate the acoustics. Very clean and spacious walking areas, well supported stairs. Much bigger than imagined. The glow worms were so pretty it was like a stary night sky in the outback. Priceless experience.

Glowworms good.
Glowworms good. Cave formations underwhelming compared to Tasmania and not value for money, tour guides were excellent though. Village pub and restaurant food was just average but staff were friendly and professional.

We did the Waitomo Cave boat tour in the evening before...
We did the Waitomo Cave boat tour in the evening before dinner and the Ruakuri Cave tour the next morning. They both were stunning. Guides were friendly and informative. We heard from another couple on the second tour that they had done several other caves and an exciting adventure (the Abyss if I remember correctly). I want to do that next time.LoisAustralia - 10Scored 10
The caves are fantastic and well worth seeing.
The caves are fantastic and well worth seeing. Harrison was a great tour guide (and has a good singing voice too) The pathway through is well paved and there are a few sets of steps, but they do have good handrails. People say that once you've seen glow worms you've seen them all, but you can't quite beat the sheer number of them as you go through the caves on the boat. If you can avoid the noisy people who can't be quiet when they've been asked to and then don't know what comes next because they weren't listening, this will enhance your trip.

We just did the one cave.
We just did the one cave. I would recommend doing the main caves and the Ruatara as well. If you are young and up for it, add the black water rafting. Oh and don’t forget the night time walk of Ruatara - see Lonely Planet.LynneUnited States of America

- From $59.58 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 242 reviewsThe main building where the kitchen and lounge are, is clean and has everything you can think of for a pleasant stay. Bathrooms a d shower are clean. Our double room was as big as 2 beds and less than 2 meters in between, if you're visiting the caves and need somewhere to sleep, it's a good setup. If you don't want to cook, the cafe nearby has good food. We tried their boil up pie and breakfasts, we loved them the food.
