We started Kiwi Cave Rafting over 25 years ago with a belief that tours could be personalized, fun, adventurous, and exciting.
We fell in love with the area and made it our personal mission to share the wonders of Waitomo Caves with the world.
We are not a large corporate hiding behind a local brand but a small family run business that employs a few fun and enjoyable guides to help share the caves in a unique, personalized way to our customers.
Our philosophy is simple, bringing fun and enjoyment to the tour while we let the caves and glow worms speak for themselves.
Here at Kiwi Cave Rafting we try to keep costs down, while maintaining a high level of safety and customer satisfaction. We are a kiwi owned company where the owners, who have 30 years tourism experience, manage the operation. We also do not over advertise and therefore pass on the savings to our customers by providing a great value tour.
You cannot take your own camera with you on the tour for safety reasons, however your guide takes great photos throughout the tour and you can purchase these at the end of your tour. On average you will get 60 to 100 photos per tour. plus we add approximately 50 stock photos. these are available to buy on USB or by download trough a link.
