This cave is much more peaceful and beautiful than Waitomo and Ruakuri caves thanks to no flowing River (so no glowworms) and different coloured limestone. There are less tourists in this cave too, only 3 couples on my tour. The tour guide Dave was really interesting and had a really kind nature about him. Highly recommend doing all 3 caves, they all have something to offer.

B. K.

Wonderful and spectacular caves! Worth the visit. The entry and exit points are same. It's about 2 km from Waitamo caves. Photo shoot is allowed inside the caves.

A. K.

The cave is smallest cave compare to other two caves but the stalegmites and stalegatites are the biggest out of all three. The walk to the cave is beautiful and it takes about 45 minutes for the entire tour.

B. P.

Quite a short tour. My 2nd favourite cave of the 3 cave tour. Had a great tour guide who actually grew up in the caves.

R. K.

My Favourite of the cave tours in Waitomo. A lot of small stalagtites to see and there were also Cave Weta at the entrance. There is also a great walk through the bushland around this cave and you can really get go appreciate the land here.

M. T.

Great, knowledgeable tour guides. Not wheel chair accessible,

Liked the tour a lot and the glowworms were amazing. Though I have to say that I already saw stalagmites ans stalagtites and that was kinda boring for me. But I don't regret the tour. When you are at Waitomo in winter or early spring I would recommend this tour cause the rafting is too cold (friends of mine told me so)

A very intriguing underground cave showcasing the typical Waitomo cave limestone formations. The walkway is well lit and clicking pictures is allowed inside. Some stalactites and stalagmites are very large. It is always advised by the accompanying guides not to touch those formations. Some broken pieces are still kept by the staff to handover to the tourists to allow them to get a feel of what it is like. A very interesting and highly recommended experience.

My favorite of the trio of guided cave tours by the company - Waitomo cave is too short, Ruakuri too long, this one just right. There are no glow worms but it felt the most cavernous and had the most interesting formations. Also may have just been coincidence but there were only adults on this one.

We have chosen the three-cave combo for our visit. This is a one hour guided tour. Walking pass a native forest, we then enter a cave after long stairs, to see some stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones. This is a much smaller tour with easier pace and much less crowded than Waitomo, however not much impressive to see.

Best cave very interesting

T. E. F.

Such a beautiful cave! Great stalactites and stalagmites! The cave guide shows you a lot of history of the caves, and explains a lot. Great cave!

R. M.

I am sure I would have enjoyed this cave had it not been closed when I got out of the Glowworm cave. Make sure you go early enough to have plenty of time to find the next cave if you're going to do more than 1.

S. R.

Natural cave formations with stalactites & stalagmites. Guided tours are quite informative and enjoyable. The site has sufficient parking. For toilets and parents' rooms, one has to go back to the main waitomo glow worms caves center a couple of kilometers away. Although, the Ruakuri parking lot does have some portable potties.

F. L.

Good place to visit if you are in North island.

M. K.

This review refers to the short trail next door. Don't miss them. A short and informative hike about the history of caves. At night you can see many glowworms around here.

K. W.

Amazed by the beautiful creation of mother natural

S. L.

Amazing tour guide! Very friendly, approachable and informative. Even learnt stuff about the previous caves we'd been in from him. Highly recommend!

W. M.

Much smaller than Ruakuri Cave and less well-known than Waitomo Cave, Aranui is nonetheless fascinating as well, with majestic limestone formations and a stepped walk (not wheelchair-accessible) leading to an awe-inspiring final cavern festooned with thousands of white stalactites. Add an Aranui Cave visit when you book Waitomo Cave and Ruakuri Cave for best value!

D. C.

A must do kiwi experience, friendly passionate team take you through the magical caves and glow worms.

k. c.

sculpture trail was fascinating

R. H.

This is the smaller of the caves at Waitomo but good value if purchased in the triple pack. Don't pay to see this by itself as it is not good value.

L. P.

A beautiful and fascinating cave. Our guide was fantastic too. Great tour.

T. K.

Went for a walk along the trail at night. Awesome to see the glow worms. Quite a busy place after dark

K. A.

Amazing! Please listen to the guide and don't touch the stalactites or stalagmites! We need to preserve and protect this for future generations.

J. P.

Very special cave, knowledge guides who don't rush you, even when it's Easter and there are large groups.

(Translated) You can see the earthen firefly glowing in the dark! The entrance fee is high, but I think it's worth it! (Original) 暗闇の中に光る土ボタルを見ることができます！ 入場料は高いですが、その価値はあると思います！

(Translated) The tour guide is very enthusiastic. There are only four people in the morning group. They can ask questions better. It is more cost-effective when it is discounted. Compared with domestic holes, it is still a bit small. (Original) 导游挺热情的，早上团只有四个人，可以更好的问问题，刚好打折的时候来比较划算，对比国内的洞还是小了点

F.

(Translated) Wonderful tour, albeit unfortunately without fireflies (since there is no water there). But again beautiful stalactite formations. Not very long, but still very beautiful (Original) Wunderschöne Tour, wenn auch leider ohne Leuchtkäfer (da dort kein Wasser ist). Dafür aber wieder wunderschöne Tropfsteinformationen. Nicht sehr lang, aber trotzdem sehr schön
