4.5/5
The cave tubing was a lot of fun.
We had a very nice guide, you get warm wetsuits and shoes and there really are a lot of glowworms! Could be a bit less expensive.

Campbell gave us a fantastic cave tour, he is passionate about the caves & obviously loves his job.
We didn't want a commercial type tour with a crowd of people & we couldn't have asked for better. This is a small tour company run by locals & they care very much for the land & the state of the caves which are only a short ride from town. Campbell gave us more than our money's worth & we enjoyed every minute. Very memorable for all the right reasons

It said that the tour would take 3 hours, in fact it was half the time.
Perhaps our expectations were too high, glow-worms were fantastic.

$99-124 for their '2 hour' tubing 'blackwater rafting' experience was overpriced compared to other offerings.
Their cave is not that impressive physically and there are better tours for seeing actual glowworms (my girlfriend did the Spellbound tour and had a much better time). Time in the cave is also a lot less than you'd expect.
Did get to do the wetsuit-in-water thing with jumps off 2 small waterfalls, but overall not worth it for the price.
If you want to see glowworms, do Spellbound
If you want a good cave, do Aranui Cave & Ruakuri Cave
And if you want adventure do greenglow.co.nz or Haggas Honking Holes
A disappointment, don't recommend

Had reservations with another company (Legendary Black Water Rafting Co) but too much rain so river too high.
They were great about it but we were thrilled to get on with Cave World. Good experience - guide pretty good but routine seemed a bit tired. Can't blame them.

Friendly staff, equipment fairly old and worn (rips in wetsuits).
Cave was cool - lots of information from the guide as we went. Cool jump and hydro-slide but got pulled in tubes by instructor where I would rather have gone on own.

We did the "3 of the best".
All 3 caves are different and worth to be seen. The walkways in the dark are perfect. Maybe a little more time in the glow worm areas.
