About this activity

Our knowledgeable guide will escort you through beautiful untouched caves here in the Waitomo district.

This option is our

Private Tour which consists of just your party of 2-8 people, plus a guide. We will tailor the tour for your group giving you the ability to move slowly through the caves to enjoy, explore and take in the surroundings, including our mesmerising glow worm displays.

Come and check out why we are the

#1 cave tour in Waitomo! 

Our eco-tours are through completely untouched and beautiful New Zealand scenery on our family farm. We are off the beaten track away from the crowds, we

LOVE it that way and so do our customers! 

Don't forget small pocket-sized cameras are welcome. 

Within a short drive of Waitomo Caves Village and the small towns of Te Kuiti and Otorohanga.
