The
Waitomo region has two spectacular landscapes, one
above ground and one below...
The
region offers many attractions for visitors including
the Aranui
Cave which
is just a little further up the valley, the Otorohanga
Kiwi House, horse riding and golf. For the more
adventurous who may be looking for real adrenalin-pumping
action, black water rafting is an absolute must,
and if that's not enough action for you, test your
nerves with the local experts at their favourite
sport, rock climbing and abseiling. If it's challenge
you're after, look no further than Waitomo!
Waitomo
is 2.5 hours south of Auckland, 1 hour south of
Hamilton, and 2 hours west of Rotorua. Waitomo
Glowworm Caves
are situated 8km along Waitomo Caves Road, off State
Highway 3. Aranui Cave is situated in the Ruakuri
Scenic Reserve just 3 kilometres or a short five-minute
drive (off Tumutumu Road) from the Waitomo Glowworm
Caves.
