Tour Plan

Full Description

This underground world is amazingly beautiful. The caves are 12,000 years old, which is still very young by geological standards, and are still being hollowed out by the force of the river that flows through them. The result is a twisting network of limestone passages filled with carved rock, whirlpools and a roaring underground waterfall.
Deep in the caves, behind the roar of the water, a small boat will take you to a quiet hidden cave inhabited by thousands of fireflies, unique in New Zealand. In the underground darkness, they create a glittering display that is nothing special.
