Otorohanga Kiwi House & Native Bird Park

Awesome!!!

Great way to learn about, not only Kiwi, but other NZ wildlife... We stayed for the talk in the kiwi night house. The lady was a wealth of knowledge!! Only thing I would say could be improved on was, needed more air ventilation/cooling in the viewing corridor where you see the Kiwi’s... When a lot of people are in there listening to the talk, it can get a bit stifling... My children had to go and sit outside while the lady was talking because of this... But other than that, it was great!! Thank you!!

We had a fun time watching the kiwi bird running around in the display room and attacking the kiwi keeper while feeding. Many native birds in the park. Staffs are kind and helpful. However the park is rather small.

We were able to see the Kiwis up close and they're night enclosure as they fed them. A really awesome thing to experience . The bird sanctuary is clean and blush with beautiful vegetation to house these incredible animals.

Awesome from start to finish

An excellent adventure from start to finish. Nick made us very welcome at check-in and ramped up our excitement. Then we set off with the friendly Joel who was super safety conscious but still maintained the fun and excitement. We abseiled down waterfalls, crawled through gaps we thought we'd never get through, rocked climbed and saw wonderous natural formations, and of course glowworms. Joel was very knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer and gave us so much interesting information on everything! Would definitely recommend, and would love to return another day for more adventures.

Best activity in New Zealand

We spent 3 weeks in North and South island and this was the best activity we did. A small group of just 2 of us got the chance to squeeze through tiny gaps and duck underwater to get through certain places all whilst being in an environment covered in glow worms. It was an excellent mix of scenic and scary. We had Chan and Luke guiding us and they even let us do extra challenges again because we enjoyed them so much. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

We are a group of low fitness girls, so in the beginning we were a bit concerned about squeezing into holes, crawling and climbing, etc. However it turned out to be so much fun! There were definitely tougher parts than others but if we did it, you probably would be able to too haha it was character building (in a good way). Nick the owner is so lovely and the staffs made sure we were all comfortable, safe and warm during the cave adventure. It could be a little bit intimidating if you're scared of water, but I really enjoyed it. We spotted a crayfish in the cave as well, which was pretty cool!

Unique adventure experience in Waitomo

I had an incredible time abseiling down into the cave, manoeuvring up and around rocks, climbing up a 30m ladder and just feeling like I was really exploring a lost world. My guide Scott was very informative, fun and what I liked was his high regard for safety and eye for good photo spots. I'd definitely come back for the full day tour Thanks for having me:)

This was without a doubt the best experience worth paying for! We had an amazing guide Scott whose knowledge and love for the place, made it that much more enjoyable. And just when we thought the abseil and the cave itself was the highlight of our trip, we got told we have the entire cave to ourselves so we got to take our time and really soak in the beauty of it all! Would defiantly do again and your a fool if you pass this opportunity up!

Loved it so much. Ws recommended by a friend and was totally the best experience in NZ. Joel and Amy were the guides - super friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They talk you through everything so the abseiling wasn't as daunting as it looks. The added pictures they took for free was a real bonus, too. Truly a breathtaking experience that you must do.

Ive been wanting to do this tour for the past 4 years. Price was a big issue for me. Bookme helped to overcome this obstacle. This was an amazing tour. The repell down to the Lost world was absolutely breathtaking. The guides were knowledgable. The caving was easy enough for a first timer. The ladder climb out was adventurous when I turned my headlamp off. I got to feel my way up in the darkness but also got to see the glow worm formations as I made my way up. Not much photos, but what was taken by the guides were awesome. Live in the moment...Great tour...

Had a wonderful day abseiling into the caves and slowly climbing my way out. The leaders were very experienced and helped my companions who'd never abseiled before enjoy the adventure too. I would highly recommend this.

Well worth the cold!

Super great experience. Does require some level of fitness and flexibility. The small spaces and tight squeezes at points can make you a wee bit anxious but nothing to worrying. It was an amazing activity and with it being winter there was no one else on our tour. Was definitely worth the cold water for a private caving experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable and very personable.

Amazing Abseil

A fantastic trip from start to finish. It was just myself and my husband in our group and we had the most amazing time with our guide, TK. The best bit was definitely the abseil but we saw glow worms and went on a hike through the cave too. Be prepared for the mission up the ladders at the end :)

I thoroughly recommend doing this especially in the off season I was the only one on this particular day it was an amazing drive out there my guide TK? Or TJ or .. I’m sorry I forget his nickname but he was a great guy with a fantastic manner and took his time to show me all this wonderland had to offer. Stepping up to the abseil platform my guts churned my pulse quickened and after a safety briefing he said ... now swing over and place your butt on the beam over the deep cavern below ?? It was everything that was advertised and more such an amazing prehistoric world down there ... so your self a favor and jump into the 100 mtr deep abyss and savor every moment Thanks guys for an amazing time Glenn South Australia ???

Exhilerating and accessible!!

Waitomo Adventures is a great family-run operator. The staff is very friendly and nice! I was scared of sitting in the void at first, but the tour started with a round of practice to get used to the gear, and our instructor's explanations and professionalism helped me do it. Once started, it is pure beauty, fun and excitement! The 100ù abseil was gorgeous and awesome, and climbing the 30m ladder back up was challenging, and everything in the middle was so cool. I LOVED it! Really recommend. The photos taken by Iain are a great souvenir. Don't hesitate, I believe this is accessible to most people - you need a minimum fitness but average like is no problem! Enjoy!

Wonderful experience

This is a exhilarating experience not to be missed! Descending through slanting shafts of light, past moss and fern clad walls to a flowing stream 80 metres below the surface is unbelievable! Experienced tour guides share their passion for this special place with humour adding to the adventure. High safety measures are in place as is respect for this delicate environment. An adventure of a life time!
