The Black Abyss
You, too, can experience the Black Abyss for only $175 NZD. What does that include? Glad you asked. Your five hour adventure includes abseiling training with very funny guides, abseiling (rappelling) 35 metres into the Ruakuri Cave, viewing the glowworms while black water rafting, jumping off a ledge into the cold, dark water, doing the flying fox in complete darkness, and climbing waterfalls. The hardest part is putting on the wet suit and fighting back the sting of the icy cold waters. Did I mention the hot chocolate and cookies they give you? At the end of you fun filled evening your guides will drive you back where you can get a hot shower, soup and a bagel. And have the option of buying pictures from your adventure. So if your looking for a wild ride in Waitomo I would definitely recommend the Black Water Rafting company. Who knows maybe you will even have the same guide, Hop, who has been working there for the last 15 years.
