Hamilton Explore New Zealand, Australia & Fiji!tune
This dry caving adventure while surprisingly gentle is an elating experience not to be missed! Just ask Tom Cruise - he's done it 4 times!
Highlights
- New Zealand’s largest and arguably most breathtaking commercial cave
- The unforgettable 100m abseil – the world’s highest commercial abseil into a cave
- Beautiful glow worm display
- 30m ladder climb out of the cave system
- Small tour numbers, max 8 persons 1:4 guide to client ratio
- Free personalised photos
Your journey to another world begins with an abseil 100m below the earth's surface secured by your guide who descends alongside you.
Slowly you lower into the void, turning on the rope like a spider as the world transforms around you. The light filtering through the mist gives unearthly qualities to the unusual plant life and formations of the cave.
The cavern you have abseiled (rappelled) into is over twice the height of any other cave in Waitomo and it's beauty and grandeur are unsurpassed.
From here you embark on a subterranean adventure back to the surface through another giant cavern. You'll see glow worms, huge limestone formations and conquer a 30-metre long ladder climb.
Waitomo Adventures are a consistent Certificate of Excellence Winner with Trip Advisor and are ranked the number 1 attraction in the area with a 5-star rating - Come and see for yourself why this is a must-do attraction in an experience that will remain with you forever.
Photography: Personalised photos are provided to clients via the internet at no extra charge. No client photography equipment is permitted. Please inquire if you require a private photography tour.
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.

Excellente expérience
Un cadre fabuleux et une expérience formidable. Nous avons adoré passer 4h dans ces spectaculaires grottes. Tout est sécurisé. Il n'y a plus qu'à profiter. Nous recommandons l'expérience Lost In The world.

Une expérience inoubliable
Un moment unique que je suis ravie d’avoir partagé avec Ian mon instructeur. Professionnel, amical, rassurant, il m’a guidé tout le long du parcours tout en m’instruisant sur ce qui nous entourait et s’adaptant à mon rythme. Évoluer dans la grotte d’une maniere authentique et sécurisé permet de profiter pleinement de ce que la nature a de plus merveilleux à offrir. Malgré le temps froid en ce moment, pas besoin d’être beaucoup couvert, une première couche technique et un polaire suffise amplement d'autant plus qu’on évolue en milieu sec. Je reviendrai sûrement un jour pour faire le parcours de 7h. Je recommande a ceux qui veulent une expérience inoubliable !

Superbe grotte
Une descente suspendue dans le vide vertigineuse! Mais pas effrayante, on se sent en sécurité. Belle grotte au fond, un plafond de vers luminescents, et une remontée sportive par une immense échelle. Notre guide Chris super sympa! Nous l’avons fait à 15h et nous n’etions que 4 plus le guide.
