Black Water Rafting – Waitomo

Waitomo is world famous for the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and more importantly the New Zealand glowworm. New Zealanders being New Zealanders, we could not just observe this spectacular natural phenomenon onboard a simple observation deck!

This ripper of a trip combines the best elements of black-water rafting with walking, swimming and climbing through dry sections of the spectacular Ruakuri Cave.

You will see awesome cave formations, some of the best stalactites and rock sculpture available, as well as the famous New Zealand glowworm. This is one hell of a unique experience and is suitable for all ages and activity levels.
