Meals and airport transfers are excluded. Children under seven need a child or booster seat; bring your own or rent one for $20.

A long day to consider

The main trade-off is the approximately 13-hour duration. Distances between Auckland, Waitomo and Rotorua mean considerable time on the road.

The activity is unsuitable for people with reduced mobility or wheelchair users, and live guiding is in English.

Less suitable if you want a relaxed day, need another language, have reduced mobility or prefer independent travel.
