Black Water Rafting, Glow Worm Caves & Caving Tours A huge network of limestone caves with magnificent craggy formations, gushing waterways, vast caverns and (most famously) glow-worms under rolling farmland hills have led caving enthusiasts from across the world to pay a visit to the quaint village of Waitomo, about an hour south of Hamilton. The main attractions are in the aptly named Glow-worm Cave, which can be viewed on an underground boat ride. Aranui, Ruakari and Spellbound Caves all have guided tours as well, accessible for any level of fitness.
If it’s more high adrenaline action that you’re after, there’s no shortage in Waitomo. With tubing, blackwater rafting, abseiling, exploring underground waterfalls and plenty of wriggling through small gaps on offer with Waitomo Adventures & Legendary Black Water Rafting, you’ll be more than satisfied when you finally surface above ground.
