Walking into the caves feels like stepping into another world. The air is cool and fresh, the silence is soft, and every turn reveals something stunning: towering limestone formations, delicate stalactites hanging like natural chandeliers, and smooth, sculpted rock that tells thousands of years of stories. Our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and funny — they shared fascinating little facts about the cave’s history, the geology, and the glowworms, making the whole tour feel personal and engaging, not just a scripted speech. Then comes the boat ride… and wow. Just… wow. 🤩 We glided silently into the darkness, the boat drifting gently on the underground river, no engine noise, just the soft sound of water. When we looked up — gasp! Thousands of tiny, twinkling glowworms lit up the cave ceiling like a starry night sky, a galaxy of little blue-green lights right above our heads. It was quiet, peaceful, and utterly breathtaking — no photos can truly capture how magical it felt. Everyone on the boat was whispering in awe, it felt like a secret world only we got to see. 10/10 — absolutely worth every penny and every minute of the drive. It’s not just a tour — it’s a memory you’ll talk about for years. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, do not miss this little slice of New Zealand magic! ✨

The huge cathedral cave with its air of reverence and outstanding stalagtites and stalagtites awes, while floating gently beneath a firmament of glow worms beguiles. Our competent guide was not intrisuve, and the high numbers of visitors were well handled so that the caves did not feel crowded or touristy. Can't recommend this highly enough!

This the second time I've done the tour. My first visit was in 2017. I think it only got better. Our guide was terrific. Very friendly, personable and knowledgable. I brought someone who had never been there. She loved it as well.

I haven't been since 2004, it was as good a tour this time, and the absolute awe of the caves and glow "maggots", is still stunning today, and Corey was amazing. Hopefully next visit won't be so far in the future!

Group Age range 13-63 and everybody rated it 5 out of 5. I do think we had the best guide - Steven was absolute entertainment. History, humor and a moving waiata in the cathedral. Its a must for everyone.

The guide, Steven, was very knowledgeable and hilariously funny. The tour is well worth the entry fee, the glowworm boat tour was incredible
