Very cool experience!
Abesiling (100m) to the cave was super exciting, the tour to the cave was really fun! The guides were also very nice.

So good!
Recommend this. They oversell the whole bones/fossils but the abseil and cave exploring is awesome.

We had two really cool guides, we have abseiling 100m down to the cabe, then walked inside for an hour, saw the glowworms and the via a ladder you go to back to the surface.

We saw the glowworms, and enjoyed such wonderful hours down in the caves. I can recommend it!

Was a second choice, because Green Glow Eco Adventures was not available.
Waitomo Adventures does not tailor for each group but offers a good variety of caving adventures. Professional guides (one was in training). Good that we were a small group (4, when the limit is 10).

Awesome four hour tour with a great guide.
The 100m abseil is a great experience if you are not afraid of heights.

Did the Haggas Honking Holes in a very small group.
We did a lot of things in a few hours. We did rock climbing, but only because we were only four. Good guide, fun and experience. We were not allowed to take photos, only those from the guide could be purchased, and they were not so great. Even with a small group it was a bit fast and touristic.

We did the 100m abseil tour (4h) - the abseil was an awesome experience, the 30m lather climb was horrible, the guide was ok - overall a nice experience but too expensive!

You should know BEFORE that 'blackwater rafting' is NOT like whitewater rafting.
Walking 3-4 hours through the caves, very cold water, hot drink and sweets, only 5 minutes in water paddling. Many glow worms.

Lost World Tour.
This tour is just amazing with small groups and very friendly guides!! You have to do it! They do not promise too much - it is legendary.
