It was amazing day. Fabulous staff. Definitely recommend it to anyone who loves water, thrill and adventure.

It was fun with friends. :) Instructor and our guide Kelly cool and fun !! Experience of natural wonders .. i.e. Glow worms and Amazing Caves. Abseiling and rock climbing was fun. Our Clothes and attire was the most funniest for the adventure though ;)

What a fabulous day we had, taken outside my comfort zone and ticking boxes. Our guide Harrie was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable and so safe. Had a blast. Thanks heaps.

Kiwi Cave Rafting did a great job giving us a thorough experience. Black Water Rafting, Caving, Abseiling, Rock climbing and Glow Worms. Highlight personally was the concentration of glow worms, best I've ever seen.

Had an awesome time at Kiwi Cave - Black Water Rafting! My friend and I were slightly nervous at the beginning but our instructor/guide Tim made us feel safe and calm by cracking a few jokes. Through the experience, he was a great support person and helped me fight the current a couple of times. Overall a great experience and if you feel a bit nervous to give it a try remember that I did it (a person afraid of heights)! 😊

Was the best end to my holiday, abseiling, climbing walls, climbing through rocks, glow worms, tubing and the water wasnt that cold when the adrenalin is pumping. Great for anyone to do but adrenalin junkies might find it a bit light on. Rachel the guide was awesome!!

It was one of the best experiences I had in New Zealand! My friends and I were really lucky to find this deal on Bookme and spontaneously decided to go. Turns out there was no one else and we ended up having a private Tour with a great guide who showed us all of the hidden treasures, all the while keeping us entertained. The activities were diverse and time just flies by. The big Glowworm Cave is the most beautiful I've ever seen - and I have seen a few, and Nigel certainly knows his way around all the little cracks he had us crawl through! We had a great time, lots of fun and we even got fed ;) all in all a perfect day!

my daughter and I did the tubing caving adventure. so much fun ,some challenges for both of us but it really is another world. the gloworms were amazing especially as you drift along underneath them and the climbing, absailing and the squeeze were challenges for me but alot of fun. four hours is great value also, I would highly recommend it

From start to finish, this experience was unforgettable. Most important, we laughed the whole day. Our guide Nigel was amazing, cheeky, fun, and highly experienced and knowledgeable. We learnt alot about the larvae and other creatures lurking in the darkness. We literally squeezed ourselves through caverns and rafted on tubes down a stream. Enjoyed hot tea and chocolate sitting under the glow of larvae which was just incredible. And got to abseil in and rock climb out of the cave. To finish up you get a warm cuppa soup and bread roll and hot shower after.

This is an unforgettable experience, thanks for the guidance and teaching, she is a great leader. We participate in altitude plunge, wormhole exploration, Black river drifting , rock climbing, it is really interesting experience, let us have a good memory.

Black water rafting on bucket list: tick. Cat was our guide and she was an absolute legend! Really knowledgeable, warm, friendly and welcoming! She also has the amazing skill of encouraging you but not making you feel silly if you have any fears. I would highly recommend this! The groups are a great size and a whole lot of fun will be had. Thank you Cat for such a fabulous time and adventure. I truly do treasure this memory and the fact that we didn't have to worry about taking photos, was awesome.

Would recommend it to anyone who is up for a little adventure! The 27m abseiling was breathtaking! The guide was very friendly and informative! Thanks for this unforgettable experience!

My husband and i spent twelve days in nz. In both the south and the north island and we got to do alot but this experience didnt compare to anything else around not even in our own country. Best day ever, lovely guide, great company, good insights and warm soup.

This is experience, what we highly recommend! We were a small group 4 people. Our tour guide was a fantastic, he explained and told all very interesting, he made a photos, when we climbed up and down in the caves. Everything is taken with care, you will have the boots, clothing, towel and shower! We respect Glowing Adventures family and their team to show and share with us earty, pure nature!

It was a great time, so different experience in my life, Ashley is a great tourist guide.

Could not fault this experience. We were looked after from the moment we stepped the door and loved the fact we were not rushed out the door after. Highly recommended

Cannot express how much my girlfriend and I enjoyed this. Fantastic hosts, very educated and hilarious very patient in the caves itself and always safe. Much better that the touristy Waitomo caves tour only 6 people max per group with a more hands on approach with no lit pathways prepare to get wet and have fun. Can't wait to come back!!

My family and I had an amazing experience with Glowing Adventures. My mum was a bit scared at some bits, but our lovely guides Kingi and Ash helped her along and gave step-by-step instructions on how to climb over the rocks in the cave. Kingi and Ash were full of knowledge and shared interesting Maori stories throughout our tour. We saw a spectacular display of glowworms as well, and spent a good time lying on the rocks and enjoying the glowing display. At no point during the tour did we feel rushed. We took our time and we all really enjoyed the adventure. It was definitely one of the most memorable experiences during our New Zealand trip, I would not hesitate recommending it to anybody.

Ash was our guide for the Day, and we were lucky to only have a small group of 4. the tour starts with a quick safety briefing and a change of clothing ( required as it gets a bit cold in the caves) then the adventure begins you make your way through a paddock then to a stair which leads you down through to beautiful rain forest like area then down to a fresh water stream which is the start to the caves. Ash is a fantastic guide and is very helpful throughout your experience in the caves i recommend a medium level of fitness as there are no paths or man made walkways nor any lighting. the pay off is fantastic, the glow worms really put on a show. i would definitely go again, but would opt for a night tour.

Just great.

If you are going to see glowworms, you have to go with glowing Adventures! No one else signed up for our time, so we got a personal 2 people tour. Not rushed, had all the time on the world. We got great explanations and our tour guide even took pictures of us, including a long exposure one that captured the beauty of the glowworms. We were provided with all the clothing/boots we needed, and got cookies and coffee afterwards. It's on their private farm, so the caves were in pristine condition, non-commercialized. Some areas got pretty tight, and required some scrambling, but your tour guide will guide you into the appropriate areas of the cave. Also inevitable to get water in the boots, but felt great and the clothing they supplied kept us at a perfect temperature. All in all one of the best tours we have ever been on! We were also fortunate to come in the spring when it wasn't too busy and get a great $100 dealing bookme.co.nz 2 days before!

The tour was an overall amazing experience! Small group, very personal. Our guide Heath did a great job showing us his cave and everybody was really friendly. Thanks heaps Glowing Adventures!

We think it was a awesome experience. We were glad that we chose and went for this cave tour instead of taking the usual boat ride for the glow worms.

Klein gehaltene Gruppen - Ausrüstung, Fotos, Kaffee, tee und kekse inklusive. Spass und nasse füsse sowieso. Die Tour ist wirklich einmalig. Sehr grosse Rundgang in Caves. Uns wurde immer wieder Zeit gegeben Fotos zu machen oder uns länger umzugucken

Not only was Glowing Adventures the best thing we did on the North Island, my partner and I agreed that it may have been the best activity we did on our holiday. Environmentally minded and totally authentic. Heath, our guide, was the man. Would highly recommend these guys. Worth every penny and truly a once in a lifetime experience that I would happily do again!! They even sent us some great pics of our adventure without charge or asking. And don't be afraid to take on the "challenges."

The tour was great! I have never done caving so I was a bit worried, but it was great. This tour is not for the claustrophobics I would say. They gave us all tje equipment and the give took some great pictures of us. It's a small group tour so there are no crowds. One note, I wish I brought some knee protectors ?

It was awesome experience caving for 3hours in caves in small group of 3. And u'll rewarded with awesome theatre of glowing worm. Like a milky way of stars just above your head. Awesome experience and a must try adventure in waitomo!!

Glowing Adventures is a small family run business and they really take care of you. Our guide was brilliant, a classic cheeky kiwi, but he definitely made me feel really safe and knew exactly how far to push the group within our individual comfort zones. Its a very hands on experience and definitely amazing value compared to the more widely advertised Waitomo cave trips. The small group number was ideal too, just six of us, which meant by the end of our tour we'd all got to know eachother in time for tea and biscuits to round off a surprisingly fun trip!

This glowworm cave experience was so much fun! It was adventurous climbing through rocks, getting fully immersed in nature and the beautiful glowworms that we were able to sit in silence and just admire! Ash was our tour guide, he made us feel very safe, checked on us frequently, made the experience fun and even had amazing photography skills inside the cave! We were even provided with clothes & gumboots to wear inside due to walking through water & shower afterwards. 100% would recommend to do again, well worth the experience.

It was the best experience I had in NZ, it was a great adventure. The staff was extremely friendly and made it so much more fun. You go through caves that have been untouched and see the amazing glow worms in complete darkness. Me and my sister loved it. Make sure you don't miss a once in a life time experience. Plus you get free photos

Amazing experience would recommend to everyone

Perfect guide, funny ! Awesome aventure ! We loved it !!!
