5.00We were going to go to Waitomo caves, but unfortunately it was booked up. We decided to try Ruakuri instead. We were not disappointed! Amazing caving experience, there are Glow worms but not as many as Waitomo caves. However the depth and the incredible caves made for an unbelievable experience. The guide Garth was excellent, he was very informative, and a real nice guy. We had a great time! The caves are absolutely amazing!
The Best Glowworm Cave Tour.

5.00The tour is better than the Waitomo Cave Tour because: 1. The cave is larger with more formations 2. As many glow worms 3. You can take photos, not allowed in the Waitomo cave 4. Fully wheelchair accessible and they provide a wheelchair

5.00An unforgettable 90 minutes exploring Ruakuri Cave. The guided tour was well paced and incredibly informative, with fascinating stories about the cave’s geology, history, and glowworms woven throughout. The walkways and lighting made it easy to enjoy the dramatic limestone formations and sparkling glowworm displays up close, creating a calm, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Highly recommended if you want a more immersive and less crowded glowworm experience in Waitomo.
Enjoyable and intersting

5.00This was a wonderful experience, with an extremely knowledgeable and funny guide - Hayley. The tour was good, but she made it excellent. It think the length of the tour and the admission price was reasonable for the tour. We also liked the fact, that there were chairs every so often, as we had one of our party who found standing around an issue and could sit, while we took photos. The glow worms were the icing on the cake to a fantastic tour.
90 minutes well spent!
