Waitomo Waterfall Trek - Guided Walk

Looking for activities for the family this ANZAC weekend? Free guided walks in the stunning Waitomo Caves landscape, Caves, karst & more. Check out the programme on our website.

Trek and climb your way alongside a river, through a karst landscape and under pristine podocarp rainforest to where the river becomes a waterfall and disappears into the subterranean world below. You’ll then clamber down the dry valley beyond the waterfall to where the underground river re-emerges into daylight from a short picturesque cavern.

This adventure requires a reasonable level of fitness and agility to be able to climb over rocks and cross streams as well as a reasonable level of maturity as there are height and water risks and no walkways or handrails. Own transport is required from Waitomo Village to the end of Ruakuri Road (8.7 km).

Minimum age - 16 years old. Children under 18 years old will require adult supervision on the trek.
