Helen and John were great hosts and went above and beyond for us! We came hungry due to transportation delays and had a five hour caving experience and Helen ensured we had towels, shower supplies and something in our stomachs to give us energy for the journey ahead and even gave us a ride. Absolutely did not have to do that but Helen was just that great. Really made us feel at home. It was great talking to both hosts as well as they are just great people who have traveled and also have Lord of the Rings trivia!. We had a mishap where we thought we lost something but we had just misplaced it. Before our discovery, they stayed in contact to ask for details so they could help us look. Breakfast was great and I enjoyed the New Zealand version of Marmite! We stayed in the cave room and it was clean and, to us, a good size. The details made us expect it to be smaller than it was. Their cat that we saw once was adorable!

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.

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 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.

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.

Amazing stay, loved every moment from the glow worm grotto to the lake. Relaxing on the deck and enjoying the amazing view with good friends. Glamping in a Yurt! Lovely breakfast provided. Good location to Waitomo Caves and adventures. Friendly and helpful host.
Very close to Waitomo Caves, so it was super convenient. We arrived late, so we didn't get to really experience the whole hotel area except sleep. The basics are met here.
