Aranui Cave
Aranui Cave has the most concentrated display of limestone formations in Waitomo. Your journey begins with a walk through beautiful native bush, before stepping through the other-worldly cave entrance.

It is remarkable for its sheer number of stalactites, stalagmites and other limestone formations. The cave was formed on an earthquake fault, meaning the rain water that creates the limestone crystals enters more readily. As a result, almost every corner of the roof and walls are adorned with fragile, sparkling forms in pale brown, pink and white.

Tours of Aranui Cave are led by experienced guides and tour groups are kept small to provide visitors with an up-close and personal encounter with nature.
