This was the priciest thing we did in New Zealand but was one of the top experiences I was looking forward to. It did not disappoint in the slightest! Our guides (Lydia and I can't remember her name, but she's originally from Chicago!) were super fun, kind and engaging. Rappelling, ziplining, tubing, swimming, climbing... this had it all! I was a little nervous as the trip approached that I may have been a bit too ambitious, but it was perfect and my partner and I both considered it the highlight of our trip. The glowworms were great here, much better than the regular Waitomo Cave tour. If you are doing this, you could skip that one. It was my first time ever ziplining... in a cave... in the dark... yep, I screamed a lot, but it was still super fun!
