Black Water Rafting On The Black Labyrinth
Overview
Black Labyrinth is Waitomo's original underground cave tubing experience - an amazing trip that is known and talked about around the world.
Climb down into nature's underground network, where streams spill, twist and turn to build a river canyon.
You'll glide with the water throught the glowworm studded underworld of Ruakuri Cave, take leaps of faith over cascading underground waterfalls, catch glimpses of daylight through a 65 metre tomo, and float serenely down river and you enjoy the glowworm show on the vaulted limestone gallaries above.
Your journey concludes when you emerge into the sunlight of the lush native Waitomo forest.
At the end of the expedition, enjoy a hot shower and complimentary hot soup .
This experience includes:
* Caving and walking
* Cave tubing (black water rafting)
* Glow worms
* A small waterfall jump
