This tour turned out to be way more than we expected - but in a great way. Kingey took us down into the caves and into areas that we would have never ventured without his excellent guidance. It was a true adventure and we loved every minute of it. The glow worms were beautiful to see.

I would highly, highly recommend this tour! The staff was great and we were provided all equipment needed for caving. Because it was a small group, we could really enjoy the caving experience, see the glow worms up close, and enjoy the "starry" view in peace and quiet. Go on this tour!

Loved this experience! I would recommend this company to everyone. It's a family run operation on private land. The small group was perfect. We moved faster than some people in our group but our guide took care of both parties. Our tour guide was informative and funny and even took pictures of us and sent them to us afterwards. So thoughtful! They give you everything you need helmet with headlamp, clothes to keep warm in even though you can look quite silly, appropriate footwear for wading through water, a place to rinse off afterwards, and coffee/tea and cookies upon return. I read reviews of other people not thinking the glow worm experience was worth it because they weren't that bright, but that was definitely not the case here. It was amazing to sit in complete darkness with tiny bright lights everywhere.
This is a very small group tour of a private cave owned and operated by the family who has been on the land for generations. In our case it was almost a private tour with Ash, the cousin of the proprietors. You need to be able to move about in varying terrain and over and under rocks without issue. You will be allowed to take time along the way to contemplate your surroundings. Appropriate clothes including footwear are provided. This is NOT the large-scale caves nearby, and it will take you longer to get there than the others.

We had an awesome tour! This was the coolest, best thing we did on our 2 week honeymoon in NZ. They were so nice and the experience was amazing.
