Famous for its high population of glowworms, Waitomo is a village on the North Island of New Zealand. Discover magic, wonder, and adventure with The Legendary Black Water Rafting Co. as they take you on the most mind-blowing and unique New Zealand caving adventure. After getting kitted up with a helmet, booties and lots of rubber get ready to tube through the spectacular Ruakuri Cave. Be ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
