A very intriguing underground cave showcasing the typical Waitomo cave limestone formations. The walkway is well lit and clicking pictures is allowed inside. Some stalactites and stalagmites are very large. It is always advised by the accompanying guides not to touch those formations. Some broken pieces are still kept by the staff to handover to the tourists to allow them to get a feel of what it is like. A very interesting and highly recommended experience.

Went for a walk along the trail at night. Awesome to see the glow worms. Quite a busy place after dark

Very special cave, knowledge guides who don't rush you, even when it's Easter and there are large groups.

This cave is much more peaceful and beautiful than Waitomo and Ruakuri caves thanks to no flowing River (so no glowworms) and different coloured limestone. There are less tourists in this cave too, only 3 couples on my tour. The tour guide Dave was really interesting and had a really kind nature about him. Highly recommend doing all 3 caves, they all have something to offer.

Quite a short tour. My 2nd favourite cave of the 3 cave tour. Had a great tour guide who actually grew up in the caves.
