FAQ about the project

What do I need to bring on the tour?

No, Aranui Cave has no river running through it, meaning it houses little life past its entrance. However, just inside the entrance is a colony of native New Zealand cave weta!

How long is the tour?
Allow 1 hour.

Are kids free?
3-year-olds and under go free, but they must be booked to secure a place on tour.

Can I include a child aged over 14 as a child in a family pass?
No children over 14 years of age will need to be booked as an adult. Proof of age may be required.

What is the check-in time and location?
Aranui Cave tours check-in at the main glow worm caves at 39 Waitomo Village Rd, Waitomo. Then, then self-drive to Ruakuri Bush Walk for your tour; follow the signs located at the corner of Ruakuri Road and Tumutumu Road down to the lower carpark, where you will wait for your guide.
