Waitomo Caves

We started the day by doing a scenic walk at Karangahake gorge- we walked through the rainforest and along little rickety bridges overlooking flowing streams and waterfalls. However today was mainly adventure fuelled- I faced my fear and signed up for the black water rafting at Waitomo caves. It was pretty scary as we had to jump off waterfalls backwards in a little dingy and plunge deep down into dark caves and rapids, but it was such an amazing adrenaline rush! Tubing and floating down pitch black caves to see the glow worms light up like a starry sky was an experience we will both never forget!
