Black Labyrinth - ultimate rafting experience

Not suitable for:

• Participants who weigh less than 45kg

• Participants under 12 years old (proof of age may be required)

Know in advance:

• There are separate changing rooms for males and females complete with hot showers for after your underground experience
• There are also lockers to safely stow your belongings while you are underground
• Photos are taken for you throughout the experience where you’ll get to view and purchase your photos at the end of the tour
• Tours only run if it is safe, which is the vast majority of the time. However, prolonged heavy rain can result in rising water levels in the caves, in which case the tours would be canceled
• The water temperature is 10-14C / 50-57F year-round so doing the activity in winter will feel almost the same as doing the activity in summer
• Towels are not supplied; you must bring your own. However, in case you forget, towels can be purchased from the retail store – they’re pretty cool too
• Guides at Waitomo reserve the right to refuse to take anyone into the cave that they consider to be unsuited for the tour (e.g. physically incapable or too small)

• Good and moderate fitness level is required
• No caving experience is needed
• Cameras, including GoPros, can’t be taken on the tour
• You do need to be comfortable in the water, however swimming is not a necessity. You'll have a tube to aid you in floating as well as expert guides
• Each participant is requested to complete a disclosure document and provide information related to health, physicality, impairments, and water preparedness

Remember to bring:

• Just bring yourself, your swimwear, a towel, shower gel, and a thirst for adventure
