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.
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!!
Came specially for the kiwi and it's all worth it. #nzmustdo
i loved it when it was feeding times for the kiwis. theres a 20ish year old one and it nibbles at the keeper that was funny. and a wood pigeon that was friendly and it came up close to say hello.
Had a brilliant day, beautiful weather. Kids really enjoyed eels being fed
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.
Le guide est sympathique et le ratio visiteurs/guide rend l'expérience unique et enrichissante. On en apprend pas seulement sur les vers luisants. Je recommande!
Every tourist and new zealander visiting Waitomo should definitely try this. Very exciting cave, loved the absailing and rock climbing. The guides Chao and Kenny were absolutely outstanding and made the attraction so much better. Will definitelytry to do it again with other friends.
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.
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 had a great experience thanks to Rob and Kelly. They really looked after us well keeping us safe while having a great time. Would definitely do again and share with family and friends. Thanks again.
Really cool experience. The guides were amazingly patient with my 8 year old son. We all had a great day. Thank you!
There were 5 of us together, 3 adults and 2 8 year olds. We absolutely loved it! My 8 year old was scared at first and hesitant to go on however Rob our instructor is very knowledgeable and experienced and made him feel safe. Amazing experience, we’re ready to book again. Thanks Rob!
It was just me, my two girls (9 and 8) and the owner, Rob. It was amazing fun and Rob has done such an amazing job designing this attraction (and digging out all the pathways by hand!!!). Highly recommend this activity and would definitely do it again. Thanks Rob!
Awesome experience with a lovely guide. Very professional. He told us about the history of the place too. We were learling while having fun at the ziplines. No way to beat that haha. He also gave us a lot of useful tips for our trip. Very sweet and helpful. The experience itself is amazing. The views stuning. Would repeat!
This is a must do activity. Always in safe hands.
I grew up in otorohanga and just come home for a hoilday from melbz had an eye for adventure so ziplining was on the agender Awesome way to see our beauitful country & enjoy catching up with whanau at the same time our two tour guides were so neat some good stories
This was an awesome tour! Our tour guide Damien was filled with amazing stories and facts about New Zealand, he was the best! It was great to be able to have both tours in one trip, since they aren't far from each other. Hobbiton was so much fun, our tour guide had lots of fun facts and trivia about the movie set. It was great having the drink and buffet lunch (which was delicious) included! Waitomo caves was fascinating to see and is something I will never forget. It's sad that you can't take pictures in the caves though. I would definitely recommend this tour, it was my favorite from my trip!
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.
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...
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!
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 :)
We got warm welcome and we got Joel as a guide today, he very gently and super super perfect. Everything is more than safe!!! So don’t need to be worries, during the trip Joel tells us heaps of detail and awesome scenic. Extremely recommended!!!
I booked the lost world 4 hour tour with my partner for a 30th birthday gift to myself. We got super lucky, because It turned out that no one else had booked for the tour that day, and it was just the two of us and our guide in the cave so we literally got our own private tour of the lost world. It was a truly amazing experience. The weather was perfect, with just a light drizzle of rain that made everything misty and even more magical. Joel was a fantastic guide; he made us feel completely at ease and was a lot of fun to hang out with.
Amazing adventure regardless of weather this is some of north islands best hidden geological formations.
Whoa! We did the half day lost world adventure, and it was mind blowing how fun, and beautiful the whole experience was! Our guid Joel was the best! He was nice, insightful and caring. DONT MISS THIS one in a lifetime adventure.
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!
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:)
We had Joel take us on the lost world tour and it was amazing! The whole place is simply breathtaking, no photo can do it justice, although we had a good few taken for us that look awesome! Couldn't recommend this trip or having Joel as a guide enough!
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.
It was a great day to explore the caves with an amazing guide, TK. Abseiling was just amazing, would love to to back to do the 7 hr tour in future!!
This tour was amazing. A truly amazing way to view the glow worms and have an adventure. Our guide was funny and took us on some side quests that were a fun challenge
