Why Waitomo?
The Underground Landscape
Don't look above ground, look below ... tubing, abseiling, walking tours, boat tours, raft tours & more! In the western Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand is the underground landscape of Waitomo boasting vast cave networks and glowworms. Go gently with a boat trip or go lively with a cave adventure
More than just caves ...see a real-life kiwi bird at the nearby native bird park or take a half-day trip to the rugged coast off Waitomo to discover waterfalls, magnificent limestone arches or New Zealand's hot water beach
