Ruakuri Cave is New Zealand’s longest guided underground walking tour. Although not as impressive as the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, many people consider this a much more intimate experience as you get many of the features of the main caves – glowworms and limestone formations – but without the tour groups, and unlike the main cave, it is no problem taking your camera inside Ruakuri Cave and it is even accessible by wheelchairs and prams.

Ruakuri Cave is a two-hour experience with 1½ hours underground.

    Wheelchair access throughout so no steps and lots of raised platforms

    Very awesome cave! There are a lot of glow worms, you can black water raft through it as well as a canyon swing in the dark along with a ropes course. Wish I had the time to do those activities!

    Cool cave. Very easy to make it through thanks to the rails and walkways. Nice guides who are reasonably well informed.
