Abseil 100 metres into the surreal Lost World for Waitomo's Ultimate Adventure. Descend slowly, bouncing and turning as the mist-filtered light gives surreal qualities to the strange plants and formations. The abseil into the Lost World is at least twice the height of any other cave at Waitomo and the beauty of this legendary cavern is unsurpassed. The descent takes about 30 minutes.
Enjoy a lunch with us down below before taking the wet way out! After lunch in probably the strangest setting you have ever eaten, you’ll head upstream, walking, swimming and climbing through cathedral-size vaults. You’ll see waterfalls, ancient whalebones and oyster fossils as well as the magnificent glow-worms. Emerge several hours later for a hot shower and a well-earned dinner BBQ meal near the cave before heading back to Waitomo. All drinks and meals are included in this awesome seven-hour trip.
