Reviews

 Apart from a bit of confusion of where to park we had a fantastic experience and it was a real buzz finding we could access the whole cave system with wheelchair. However, our son who has Cerebral Palsy must have moved and hit or trapped his hand somewhere in the darker areas. Unfortunately due to his sensory challenges he became extremely upset for the trip back out.

  • 25 years later and just as amazing
    We finally made it back to NZ after 25 years and this was at the top of our list of things to do again, this time with our teenage and adult children. These guys do not disappoint. Thanks to Jake and Rudy for a great cave experience and a special one to Angus for keeping this a great place to come even after 25 years!

  • New, exciting, challenging!
    I loved the experience! It is certainly not something I would do normally and had I not been convinced to try, I certainly would have missed out! The staff were lovely and had such a good attitude. They were accommodating and regarded safety with the highest level.
