Once inside, the adventure has only just begun as you plunge into a raging subterranean river and head for the submergence - swimming and climbing through cathedral-sized vaults, jumping and climbing through underground waterfalls and overcoming the cauldron and shin breaker alley on the way.

  • What to bring: Please bring swimwear, shower items, towel, and thick socks that cover the ankle.

    Fitness Test:If the guide(s) on the day have any doubt about a clients fitness they may ask them to prove it by completing a fitness-test. One quick and simple test we may use is to step up and down a 20 cm (8 inches) step not less than 45 times in 60 seconds. We strongly recommend clients complete this test before they book their activity and before they travel to Waitomo. Clients may also be requested to submit to breath-testing for alcohol or other drugs. Where appropriate, guides may at their sole discretion cancel a departure or remove an unsuitable client from a departing trip for any safety-related reason.

    Pregnancy: We do not recommend abseiling ( rappelling ) during the 1st and 3rd trimester due to the need to wear a tight-fitting harness across your waist during the abseil. All pregnant clients wishing to participate in one of our adventure options must provide a medical certificate from their General Medical Practitioner confirming that they are fit for abseiling ( rappelling ) and caving.

    This policy is required for us to comply with the NZ Adventure Safety Regulations.

员工非常友善

因为天气的原因我们的行程被改成了4个小时,员工非常友善地给我们提供了几个其他选择,多余的退款一周内就到账了。教练全程让我们觉得非常安全(详细行程就不剧透了)。我先生很胖,但在教练的鼓励下也顺利完成了行程。另一家的萤火虫洞+cave我也去过,和这就比起来真的差很多。强烈推荐,希望下次有机会完成7个小时的行程。

超棒!

强烈推荐!!!100米的绳索下降简直棒呆了!洞穴探险会很累因为有很多石头要各种爬,还会有涉水的部分,我去的那天因为连续暴雨导致水流很急,走得特别累,需要一定的体能基础。但整个玩下来还是非常棒的体验,推荐有冒险精神的小伙伴报名!

特殊景觀,難忘的旅程!

親眼看到宛如只有在電影或遊戲世界裡出現的場景很震撼 若參加涉水行程還有機會在完全黑暗的環境裡跳水,很刺激! 藍光蟲的數量滿多的,也可以看到其他動物的化石與痕跡 我參加的時候儘管只有2人,但還是會配2名領隊,非常安全 行程吃與喝的東西準備的非常豐富,但也是個滿耗體力的行程XD 若有機會一定要來體驗

Best Experience Ever

Joel and Harrison were the best guides anyone could ever ask for. The trip was incredible in its own right but these guys really did make it special for us. Would return again in a heartbeat!
