We went as a party of 8 with 4 kids (9-14yrs) and it was the first cave we visited. Aroha was our guide and she was very interesting to listen to. There is quite a bit of standing around listening to the history and learning about the caves, but the short boat ride made it all worth while. There wasnt... More

I remember a large, forested centre, lined with wooden posts and a giant net above it. There they had an information centre to find out more about the glow worms.
