I thought that the times spent in the caves was great fun. The abseil down into the gorge was spectacular as were the glow worms. The black water rafting was a bit tame to say the least, more like being on a lazy river ride. Be warned if you are claustrophobic that the guide will make you squeeze through some... More

I gave my husband a voucher which still had 6 months to run, however staff charged him extra as the price had increased. I think this is very wrong, and will not be recommending anyone to use rap and raft. What bad buisness sense, come on Rap n Raft, there is too much competition out there to start doing underhand...

we went as a large group of friends and couldnt get into some of our other black water rafting choices. As a rulle i dislike absailing and rockclimbing as im super scared of heights but i didnt want to miss out on the rafting and glowworms. Our guide was very easy going and turns out it was all good once... More

This is totally worth going to do. My husband was sort of iffy about it, but when we were done he was totally happy I talked him into it. I tried to decide between the various cave tours and ended up going with Rap, raft, n rock because they were reasonably priced and seemed to do all the activities that... More

My sister and I happened to drive past the sign for rap raft 'n' rock when we were campervanning through the north island of nz and popped in to enquire. It was late afternoon so we booked ourselves in to do the five hour expedition the next day and parked up in a camp site down the road for the... More

We decided to stay here as a quick stop over after a match in New Plymouth as it was close to the Waitomo Caves. We were welcomed by a very helpful and friendly receptionist. It is shared accomodation but that only applies to the living area and bathroom. The rooms are separate and overall the place is very clean. Bring... More

My previous experience of caving had been in a dry bat cave walk in Thailand, and a short swim in a wet cave in Laos, neither of which required any gear or technique to enjoy. My boyfriend and I were looking for something exciting, adventurous and memorable to do to end the North island leg of our trip and this... More

We turned up at 8.30 pm and didn't realise that the reception closed at 7pm. I hadn't seen it when I booked it that they closed at 7. However when I turned up the next day to do the cave trip the woman there was so rude and unprofessional I was glad I hadn't stayed there. She had the poorest... More

The Waitomo Caves was my first stop on my backpacking self booked trip around New Zealand. I had visited Waitomo Caves on a previous visit to NZ but this time wanted to do the Black Water Rafting activity. Knowing the area I should have in hindsight, looked into the location of Rap Raft 'n' Rock's hostel accommodation in a bit... More
