On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer.
On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer. Went to two caves the first, after a short walkthrough bush we entered the cave and then got into a rubber raft where we were pulled along the underground stream , looking up at the ceiling it was covered with glow-worms. Very pretty & fascinating. After a coffee break we went into the second cave where we saw lots of stalagmites and stalactites and even the bones of an ancient extinct bird, the Moa. The guide was very knowledgeable and told us how the rock formations were formed. An excellent tour.JudithAustralia - 10Scored 10
Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave.
Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave. The tour guide was well spoken and clear and sung beautifully to demonstrate the acoustics. Very clean and spacious walking areas, well supported stairs. Much bigger than imagined. The glow worms were so pretty it was like a stary night sky in the outback. Priceless experience.

Glowworms good.
Glowworms good. Cave formations underwhelming compared to Tasmania and not value for money, tour guides were excellent though. Village pub and restaurant food was just average but staff were friendly and professional.

We did the Waitomo Cave boat tour in the evening before...
We did the Waitomo Cave boat tour in the evening before dinner and the Ruakuri Cave tour the next morning. They both were stunning. Guides were friendly and informative. We heard from another couple on the second tour that they had done several other caves and an exciting adventure (the Abyss if I remember correctly). I want to do that next time.LoisAustralia - 10Scored 10
The caves are fantastic and well worth seeing.
The caves are fantastic and well worth seeing. Harrison was a great tour guide (and has a good singing voice too) The pathway through is well paved and there are a few sets of steps, but they do have good handrails. People say that once you've seen glow worms you've seen them all, but you can't quite beat the sheer number of them as you go through the caves on the boat. If you can avoid the noisy people who can't be quiet when they've been asked to and then don't know what comes next because they weren't listening, this will enhance your trip.

We just did the one cave.
We just did the one cave. I would recommend doing the main caves and the Ruatara as well. If you are young and up for it, add the black water rafting. Oh and don’t forget the night time walk of Ruatara - see Lonely Planet.LynneUnited States of America

- From $58.55 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 251 reviewsThe main building where the kitchen and lounge are, is clean and has everything you can think of for a pleasant stay. Bathrooms a d shower are clean. Our double room was as big as 2 beds and less than 2 meters in between, if you're visiting the caves and need somewhere to sleep, it's a good setup. If you don't want to cook, the cafe nearby has good food. We tried their boil up pie and breakfasts, we loved them the food.
BaharNew Zealand - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 405 reviewsGreat atmosphere, friendly owner always joking around, beautiful surroundings (farm), clean showers and kitchen, option to buy items for dinner/breakfast, and lots of communal space (inside & out!) with couches, benches and games, books... For those arriving with InterCity Bus: they're willing to pick you up, just call ahead if you don't feel like walking.Lee_64sf21Germany

The breakfast provided was well presented and more than we expected. Thanks for the exectial stay we highly recommend this stay.
JessicaAustralia - From $58.55 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 251 reviewsThis is not a Motel. It is cabins and do not have toilet or bathroom facilities in them. You have to walk to another area for them. They were clean and well-maintained with good heating and ventilation. Basic but good-sized (king single bunks) beds with good bedding. Great kitchen and dining room (shared) Good cafe next door for breakfast.BarryNew Zealand
- From $74.52 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 237 reviewsVery nice handmade breakfast prepared by our kind hosts. We got the key as soon as we arrived and were shown the room. If you move around by car there are a few restaurants in the area and it's really close to Waitomo caves (5m) which is great for a morning tour. The farm itself is lovely, amazing views and animals around.
CarolinaSwitzerland - From $106.45 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 947 reviewsNice sized room with kettle and refrigerator, lovely grounds and flowers, perfect location in town. Wifi worked well. Easy parking. Thoughtful touches like print-outs of local restaurants in the room to browse. And a quiet, comfortable night's sleep! Breakfast was fine but nothing fancy (toast, fruit, yogurt, cereal).
