Rap Raft n Rock is in the heart of Waitomo were you are surrounded by the choice of different memorable activities. Friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. Room to suit everyone clean and fresh family home. Great place to enjoy the experience of a life time. Please note guests must check in before 7pm.
All bedding is provided but no towels or food. The house has a standard kitchen, dining and lounge. We have a large outdoor area for barbeques etc. We are 8 km from Waitomo Caves Village and midway between Otorohanga and Te Kuiti. Both towns have supermarkets cafes etc. (Waitomo Village does not have a supermarket) Activities To Enjoy A private and unique blackwater experience. Our groups are smaller, more fun and less hassle. Our exclusive cave is totally natural, no steel or concrete structures. We guarantee huge glow-worm displays in cathedral-size caverns and a 90% chance of rapids in wet months. Our cave water is warmer even in the winter months.
With an unbelievable 27 meter abseil into a huge chasm in the Earth, experience the refracted light highlighting the amazing plant and rock formations making this a truly awesome descent. Then you will cave upstream to the cathedral-style 400sq meter cavern where you will witness a glow-worm display that will absolutely take your breath away.
This is followed by a blackwater rafting trip downstream floating through caverns filled with more glow-worms that fill the cave with a soft blue light. Then there is the challenge of moving through the cave with the option of squeezing through passages until you reach the exit. The final challenge is a breathtaking 20-metre climb back to the rest of the world where a well-deserved hot shower awaits you.
