Waitomo Adventures

About Us

About 20 years ago, Waitomo Adventures Ltd pioneered the fantastic Lost World as a new and exciting adventure. The huge success of this concept led us to have found the unique range of five fantastic adventure options.

Today, Waitomo Adventures Ltd remains family owned and is still operated by the founder who lives locally.

We are a company with the training infrastructure and safety excellence that helped to establish the standards for the industry. All our guides are not just incredibly helpful and funny but also fully qualified to those standards.
