Join the team of the Legendary Black Water Rafting Co and discover why the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves are so world famous!

There are three option to choose from depending on how adventurous you’re feeling and how extreme you want to get;

Black Labyrinth – for those who like a splash of adrenaline (pun totally intended!) this is the one! You’ll spend 3 hours tubing through the caves, leaping off waterfalls and exploring the Ruakuri Caves before finishing up your trip floating serenely down river as you enjoy the glowworm show above.

Black Odyssey – the most popular of the 3! Test yourself with extreme traversing and mind-blowing heights. Edge over crossings high above roaring streamways. You’ll also spider-walk through ancient rift passages and experience the challenges of technical high rope work and flying foxes.

Black Abyss – for those who want the full adrenaline experience! This challenging expedition combines abseiling a breathtaking 35 metre tomo (hole), climbing waterfalls, a flying fox through the dark, before tubing down the subterranean river.

Whichever option you choose your experience Black Water Rafting Waitomo Gloworm Caves is going to be one of your highlights of New Zealand!
