Waitomo Caves
The Waitomo Caves are an easy one hour drive from the Lazy Tramper

If you plan on staying with us for a few days, make time to visit one of New Zealand's most popular natural attractions - the magnificent Waitomo Caves.

The Waitomo Caves are an easy one hour drive from the Lazy Tramper.

In this subterranean wonderland, you'll see a spectacular Glow worm display inside the amazing Glowworm Grotto cave. Like a galaxy of shimmering stars, the Glowworms light your way as you float along the underground river. You'll also see bizarre and beautiful limestone formations, including ancient stalactites, stalagmites and natural sculptures.

Adrenalin-junkies can challenge themselves to one of the many caving adventures on offer at the Waitomo Caves. Go white-water rafting along an underground river (called 'Black Water Rafting') - it's a real thrill. Other adventures include abseiling into the massive Lost World chasm and rock climbing in subterranean cave structures. Not for the claustrophobic!

At the end of an unforgettable day at Waitomo, head back to the comfort and warmth of the Lazy Tramper - where the open fire and a good meal awaits you.
