  • Spectacular visuals
  • Magical atmosphere

Rated 4.70 out of 5, this underground adventure earns consistent praise for its thrilling mix of abseiling, zip lining and black water rafting through stunning cave systems. Guides are repeatedly highlighted as friendly, professional and genuinely skilled at keeping groups safe while fostering a fun, social atmosphere. The glowworm displays add a magical contrast to the action, making it a truly unique experience.

  • 5-hours of exciting adventures from rappelling, zip lining, floating in an inner tube down the underground stream and then walking on the rocks to the exit.

  • The abseiling into the cave was awesome!

  • We had a wonderful time in the Ruakuri cave with our fabulous guides Harry and Paddi. They made us feel safe in every situation and showed us what it's like living the wild life. Really liked the glowworms. Magical views. Sweet as.

  • It's an incredible natural resource and a very unique experience. The guides are friendly and professional and make you feel safe while also having the adventure of a lifetime!

  • We had such an amazing time! Our guides were amazing and funny and made all of us strangers come together and socialize that not even trained icebreakers would be able to do. I honestly didn’t realize the experience included so much exercise, like swimming and walking through the cave. We even floated down the river without the tubes, meaning I bumped the ground more than once because my floating is subpar at best, but that made it even better. We even ended up climbing up two small waterfalls (which we definitely weren’t expecting!), and it turned into such a fun adventure. We were laughing and giggling the entire time. Everything felt so well put together, and the little touches made it extra special, especially the cookies, tea, hot chocolate, chocolate bars, and hot soup at the end. It was the perfect way to reward and relax after all the excitement. If you’re looking for something adventurous and memorable, this is absolutely worth it. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!

  • Sehr abwechslungsreich zwischen Action (Abseilen, Zipline, Klettern und Kriechen durch die Gänge in der Höhle) und dem Genießen der leuchtenden Gespinste der Fliegenlarven an der Höhlendecke.

  • It was an amazing tour throughout. All the guides were super friendly and dynamic and we always felt save. The tour included an about 35 m abseiling through a narrow cave, a zipline through a cave with lots of glowworms, swimming and tubing through a wonderful with glowworms lighted up scenery. I have never seen something that beautiful in my life! Highly recommend the tour!
