WAITOMO & WAIKATO
Waikato Area map
In Waitomo, located south of Hamilton, there’s a natural labyrinth of caves to discover. Massive subterranean caverns are adorned with stalactites and stalagmites and visitors can glide through the darkness on a water-borne barge and admire the beauty and deep silence of the cave where the glow-worms overhead give the effect of an underground sky.
If you find that too ‘leisurely’ why not try black water rafting (another Kiwi idea!), or abseiling into underground caves!
