Great cave formations, able to get up real close and take some great photos, as we were unable to take photos in the glow worm caves. Our guide in the Glow Worm Caves was excellent and even gave us a song, well worth a visit. More

The Aranui Cave is, in my opinion, the prettiest of the main caves at Waitomo. There is hardly a place on the roof of the cave where there isn’t limestone decoration. We did this tour in a 3-cave combo – Waitomo Glow-worm Cave, Aranui Cave and Ruakuri Cave. We had to drive ourselves from Waitomo Village to the cave carpark... More

This cave was far superior to Waitomo, quite a lot of different types of formations and a much larger cave overall but no glowworms because the cave is dry. Went on the first walk so we could see the cave... More
