This was a truly once in a lifetime experience. All the equipment/clothing is provided and the only source of light in the caves is that of your headtorch. There are no manmade paths or walkways (other than the steps down to the caves) so Ash navigated us over the rocks and river through the cave. At no point did it feel rushed either as some parts were trickier to get through and needed more patience It was amazing to traverse through the cave system and experience something so untouched by humans. The glowworms were awesome, but the experience as a whole was exceptional You get to beat the crowds of the main caves as it is literally only the people on tour and Ash there. There’s towels provided to shower after too, plus hot drinks and biscuits afterwards Ash was knowledgeable and super friendly. He didn’t make us rush through any part and was just great. He even took some photos throughout that we promptly received the next morning The pictures don’t do it any justice and seeing the glowworms whilst sat in the dark is so surreal. Ash kindly takes photos of everyone as he has a knack for it to capture you AND the glowworms 1000000% recommend

It was a very unique and unforgettable experience on our second day in NZ, truly "off the beaten track", away from crowds, just 6 people in the group in the real cave environment! Many thanks to Ash!! He is a great and knowledgeable guide; he provides a lot of new interesting info and keeps you entertained at the same time. Highly recommend!

Fabulous fun tour. Locally run family business and fully professional. Ash was a great guide and Michelle a great host. Perfect that they provided ALL the gear we needed. We learned lots, saw lots and it was a proper adventure.
