Advantages: Indoors and underground

Disadvantages: Takes a full half day

Fantastic cave system, and one of the nicest places to see New Zealand's real treasure the gloworm! These little guys thrive in these caves and given a little peace and quiet will quite happily shine away. To get to the caves you have to take a boat along a sound which takes about 30 minutes, and then you have a small tour through a visitor centre before being taken through the caves. Pleae note, if you have very small children with you they cannot go through the cave because of noise.
Upon your return to the visitor centre you are given a cup of tea, and then back to the boat for your return journey.
The caves themselves are awesome, however this is really a great half day trip if you have bad weather, and have some time to kill, as it will keep you beautifully dry.
You are fine to book this when you arrive - no need to prebook.

Summary: Nice way to spend a half day especially if raining
