Haggas Honking Holes is fast-paced and packed with excitement and adventure.
This caving expedition packs a lot into only four hours - you'll encounter abseils (often in waterfalls), rock climbs, unique limestone formations and get up close to glowworms while exploring this fantastic cave system.
No prior experience is necessary. Participants should, however, be moderately fit and brave.
There's no swimming required but you're definitely going to get wet! This is a great winter trip, the cave never floods!

Location:1227 Waitomo Valley Road, Waitomo
Fitness Test:If the guide(s) on the day have any doubt about a client’s 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.

Super Erfahrung
Es hat riesigen Spaß gemacht, diese unterirdische Höhlenwelt in der Art und Weise zu erkunden. Leider gingen die 4 Stunden viel zu schnell vorbei :( Jury und Simon haben das wirklich großartig gemacht :) Sebastian & Kerstin

Exceeded all expectations!
This was such amazing experience! I had a feeling it would be good, but honestly it was GREAT! It was bit more physically demanding than I expected but in the best way. Found it challenging and exciting to face some fears and am better off for it! Also bonus Whittaker’s chocolate in the cave for the win. They provided photos which was also super cool!

Awesome!
Die Tour war einfach nur genial. Da wir in der Nebensaison gebucht hatten waren wir nur zu zweit mit zwei Tourguides unterwegs. Super spannend sich in ein 20m tiefes Loch abzuseilen und danach die Felswände wieder hochzuklettern. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Jedoch kann ich mir vorstellen, dass man in grösseren Gruppen teilweise lange Wartezeiten in der Höhle hat. Kleines Plus ist auch noch, dass die Fotos kostenlos sind. ?
