A cave experience like no other, Ruakuri Cave solved the challenge of respecting the spirit of local culture, as well as protecting the environment. It delivers an engineering solution that is not only an impressive showcase of technology, but is also uniquely world class.
Winding passageways, vast echoing caverns, deep crevices and the distant thunder of subterranean waterfalls bring a different energy and character to Ruakuri. Visitors are led along narrow corridors and across low-lit walkways suspended high above the river, sometimes glimpsing the black water rafters on the Huhunui River below
Guides will lead you through New Zealand’s longest quided underground tour. You will be mesmerized by crystal cave tapestries, shawl like formations and amazing glowworms.
