For thrill seekers, the Waitomo Caves offer an unmissable underground adventure. Experience the excitement of abseiling, climbing and cave tubing along a stream illuminated by the shimmering lights of hundreds of tiny glow worms.
Gray Line works with the Legendary Black Water Rafting Company - New Zealand’s first black water rafting adventure operator. They've been sharing thrills and excitement since 1987, and have experienced guides who will take you safely through the stunning underworld of Ruakuri Cave.
What began as a special treat for a brave few has developed into a spectacular tourism attraction that gives visitors of all ages the chance to weave, jump, and float through a glowworm-studded subterranean wonderland below Waitomo. A visit to the world-famous Waitomo limestone formations and cave systems offers a magical subterranean experience. The Arachnocampa luminosa glow-worm is unique to New Zealand. Hundreds of limestone caves lie beneath the craggy King Country hillside. Created by geological and volcanic activity, the caves have evolved over 30 million years.
