Troll Cave — Attraction in North Island

I have been through Waitomo Adventure's Troll Cave three times since it opened; the first was with a group of adults, the second a group of adults and children aged 6 and 8 and most recently with a group of eight 9 and 10 year-olds. Each tour was led by the brilliant Pete who delivers the experience with as much gusto and commitment to adult audiences as to children. He has mastered the skill of drawing his audience (especially children) into the legend of the troll cave, fielding their many questions and comments, and instilling a sense of fear and excitement. The cave itself is manmade and full of surprisingly creative devises for supporting the legend of the troll and the mission to replace its transponder. It's a cross between a haunted house and an escape room that will totally engage and wow ages 5-85. Elvis the eel and his mates are the perfect end to a really fun experience. Our most recent tour was for a birthday party and beyond a doubt, the Troll Cave was the perfect entertainment for the occasion (especially on a very rainy day!). For anyone unable to go on Waitomo Adventure's Lost World Tour or looking to entertain the whole family, you cannot go wrong...

What an absolutely amazing experience for our entire family. Although you knew in your heart of hearts that it was just a game or 'a bit of fun', Peter had us all in fits of nervous laughter about what was in store for us. He is most definitely a master of his craft and drives the entire experience. I was amazed at how well thought out the experience was. There is so much attention to detail. Peter even managed to get my bawling 4 year old to calm down and enjoy the story of TOM as the excitement started right from the word "GO!" I would totally recommend the entire experience for any family or group to do, as it caters for the young and the young at heart. Let's just say if hubby wasn't as brave as he was we would still be hanging out with TOM haha. So go and do it! It's an unforgettable experience that you won't regret. Thank you so much Peter for making our day. You are a truly...

We visited back in May this year and had such an unforgettable experience. First of all when I tried to book online there wasn't any availability for the dates we were visiting, I sent an email anyway as I was really keen on it for the kids. Nick replied promptly and opened up departures for one of the dates we were there for, which I was ecstatic about! Our kids are aged 5 and 2 and they both had a blast! The adventure started right at the door and Peter was an amazing guide. I would highly recommend this it is so well thought out, we even got sent some photos after the experience. Thank you for going above and beyond and making this such a memorable experience for our...
