Waitomo Caves Campervan Trip

Despite not being budding cavers, the Waitomo caves were a necessary weekend away. We camped at the Waitomo Top 10. We chose to go with the Black Water Rafting Company Adventure Trip because of their good value for YHA/hospital members. The 4 hours trip included a plummeting abseil into the cave, flying fox and floating down underground rivers in inner tubes. The ceiling of caves were scattered with glow worms and looked just like the night sky! However, I known that more civilised boat trips are available for those who do not thrive on frolicking around in cold water 50 foot underground! A welcome finish to the day was soaking in the hot outdoor spa pool at the campervan site, surrounded by rolling hills. The staff at the site were really friends and lawns and gardens were so well kept it was quite picturesque.
