Waitomo Caves: Spectacular sculpted limestone outcrops, ‘disappearing’ streams and natural bridges give tourists several clues that Waitomo is different. It has two landscapes – one above ground and one below. Take a boat ride through a glow-worm cave, or go adventure caving and cave abseiling (rappelling) or float along under a ‘sky’ of glow-worms through huge caverns scattered with ancient stalactites. Jump on a 4WD trail bike, go skydiving, horse trekking, jet boating, take in a kiwi-culture show, rabbit shearing, wildlife park, forest and farm walk, or go on a Maori scenic cultural tour. Explore the three-hour Waitomo Walkway starting opposite the i-SITE Visitor Information Centre and Museum of Caves and experience Waitomo’s beautiful rolling farmland, native forest and spectacular limestone features, including the Ruakuri Natural Bridge; and, at night see the magnificent glow-worm display near Ruakuri car park (free maps available from the i-SITE). Take a 30-minute drive west to the Mangapohue Natural Bridge, self-guided Piripiri Caves and the Marokopa Falls; and, take a further 20 minutes to Marokopa and the wild and beautiful west coast. From Marokopa, take a two-hour scenic drive south to Awakino and on to New Plymouth, or return north to Te Kuiti and Hamilton.
