Black Abyss Tour

Unironically 10/10, one of the best experiences I've ever had

The team here are great!This trip itself is awesome. if you like adrenaline, adventure or challenging yourself physically then this is the trip for you.We did the black abyss 5hr tour and had an absolute blast! It didn't feel too long, and nothing was forced on you. great level of challenge.And let me just express how great the guides were. I work professionally in the industry as an assessor in outdoor recreation. And to see these guys working I was extremely impressed. all 3 of our guides were able to have the perfect balance of fun, risk management and professionalism. I would happily take those guides again, they were some of the best outdoor guides around.

The Waitomo black water abyss tour was absolutely spectacular and a “must do” for those with a high degree of adventurous spirit and physical fitness ability as it’s a very active 5 hours. The guides were fantastic. Funny, supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We started with a lesson on abseiling and then headed down into the cave. The adventure through the cave was amazing. Seeing the glow worms in action but I will say the water is cold! Literally took my breath away when I jumped in. Say “yes” to the fleece. Brrrr. The highlight of the tour for me was the expedition out of the cave up through the waterfalls. Felt like I was Indiana Jones. If I could change one thing it would be the snacks. I love the idea of the hot chocolate and chocolate treats but I was already so thirsty and that made me even thirstier. Overall an amazing experience that we will never forget!

Do it! :DI was really nervous for this tour, but it was absolutely fantastic! The guides were lovely and very supportive around the bit I found stressful (abseiling, my nemesis). The glow worms are beautiful, the zipline part is especially fun, and it was overall just a great time! No tight squeezes and no sections where you need to hold your breath. Water is COLD but the wetsuit works wonders and they served us hot drinks twice as we went. 10/10 would do again (even if I had to redo the abseiling)

If you have any interest in exploration and adventure, do this. Manages to combine discovery and fun with relaxing and contemplation all in excellent safety. Can't recommend enough.

We had an absolute blast rappelling down into this cave, zip lining in the dark and rafting with the glow worms!

Matty and ciarne were the funniest couple of guides we could have hoped for. The full tour is not for the feint of hearted getting out. If you love a good adventure and to push your limits. This is a must do experience and easily my favourite so far

Amazing experience with the Black Abyss tour! 5 hours of adrenaline. Definitely worth doing if you're up for a challenge. Max is an awesome tour guide and instructor, looks after every aspect and makes the whole experience very much enjoyable.

The best thing ever! The tour guides were chill but professional and we felt safe throughout this adrenaline-filled adventure. Worth every penny!

Alistair and Max did an excellent job making the tour seamless, exciting, informative, fun, and yet safe and attainable. Thanks again from California!
