My wife booked the Black Abyss - Private Tour for me a month ago. I was picked up from the SkyCity Hotel in Auckland by tour driver Mary Cunningham. She offered a warm greeting and was very friendly. Throughout the two hour plus drive to Waitomo, Mary provided an informative and insightful history of the area and of Maori culture. The several hours I spent with Mary was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. The Black Abyss tour exceeded my expectations and was an amazing and otherworldly experience. Caving tour guides Evie and Sara were provided a contagious youthful and enthusiastic energy that my two other guests and I really appreciated. Safety was their priority and they also took the time to explain the unique features of the cave and the lifecycles of the famous glow worms. This tour was probably the best experience during my 30 day holiday in Australia and New Zealand.
Kia Ora Carlos, Thank you so much for this incredible and heartfelt review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your Black Abyss Private Tour, it truly is one of the most extraordinary experiences in Aotearoa. Mary will be over the moon to know that her warmth, storytelling, and deep cultural knowledge made your journey to Waitomo so enjoyable and memorable. It’s an honour to know this was one of the best experiences of your 30-day holiday, it really means a lot to us. Thank you once again for choosing ExperienceKart. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in New Zealand! Ngā mihi nui, The ExperienceKart Team
This was the priciest thing we did in New Zealand but was one of the top experiences I was looking forward to. It did not disappoint in the slightest! Our guides (Lydia and I can't remember her name, but she's originally from Chicago!) were super fun, kind and engaging. Rappelling, ziplining, tubing, swimming, climbing... this had it all! I was a little nervous as the trip approached that I may have been a bit too ambitious, but it was perfect and my partner and I both considered it the highlight of our trip. The glowworms were great here, much better than the regular Waitomo Cave tour. If you are doing this, you could skip that one. It was my first time ever ziplining... in a cave... in the dark... yep, I screamed a lot, but it was still super fun!
Kia Ora Travis, Thank you sincerely for choosing to book the Black Abyss, it is in fact one of our very popular tours! We are stoked to hear that you found this as one of the top experiences and had an amazing experience floating in the dark with the glowworms, it is truly a magical experience! We look forward to hosting you again on another adventure soon!
I cannot rave enough about this tour. The experience is out of this world. Our guides were George & Rebekah (I don’t think I spelt that right) They both were friendly, engaging, knowledgable and most importantly made us feel very safe. Floating in the dark, with glow worms above our heads and George singing, was mesmerising. Yes, the water was cold.
Kia Ora Meagan! Thank you sincerely for choosing to book the Black Abyss, it is infact one of our very popular tours! We are stoked to hear that you found this experience out of the world and had an amazing experience floating in the dark with the glowworms, it is truly a magical experience!

Thank you sincerely for choosing to book with ExperienceKart and recommending our tour! We look forward to hosting you again and wishing you best wishes for 2024!
It was a bit too early start, but our guide was kind and warmly welcomed us. His guide explanation was understandable. Also, the guide at Waitomo cave was funny and understandable.

Thank you for your comments about our business, we strive very hard to provide a great positive experience and we are humbled by your lovely 5 star review!

This was one of our activities that we did on our tour despite the high private car ride to the Black Abyss. Highly recommended! Our driver, Dep, was super cool, accommodating, and threw in some interesting cultural tidbits during the ride. The only tiny hiccup was we were expecting a solid lunch after all that caving excitement, but all we got was a simple soup. No biggie for us, but just thought I'd throw it out there. Dep did take us to a spot for lunch, but we had to fork out some cash ourselves. Not a deal-breaker, just something to keep in mind.
Kia Ora Amy, Thank you for your review and we hope you had a great day joining the Black Abyss Ultimate Caving Experience. We sincerely apologise that lunch was not provided on your trip to Waitomo despite being included as part of your experience. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused. I have gone ahead and issued a partial refund in lieu of this inconvenience and thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. We will have chat with Dibs and ensure this incident is not repeated. Dibs is usually spot on with all his guiding, however it appears this one slipped through. Once again we apologise for any inconvenience, we will do our best to make everything right and hopefully you will come back and book another tour with us in the foreseeable future!
This was the single best excursion I experienced over my three weeks in New Zealand. Book it immediately. Our guides Joel, Max, and Ellen were knowledgeable, professional, and fun! The gear provided was solid, and I felt safe throughout the entire experience. The adventure was well-paced, starting with a heart racing abseil, moving on to a pitch black zipline, then jumping into the water for tubing. THE WATER IS COLD, but it was so much fun I didn't mind it (and I am not a cold weather person). We stopped twice for breaks, and the snacks were on point! I appreciated Max's knowledge of the caves both scientific and cultural. If I could choose only one excursion in NZ, I would choose this one again and again!
Kia Ora Aeacho, Thank you for your wonderful review and it's great to hear that you enjoyed our tour and recommending to other travellers as one of the best excursions in NZ! We sincerely appreciate your feedback and look forward to hosting you again!
Our driver Karthik was prompt, kind, knowledgeable, and just all-around amazing! He took great care of us as we embarked from Auckland into Waitomo region and prepped us for our Black Abyss blackwater rafting experience. He took us to get coffees and lunch beforehand and we also stopped to see the kiwi birds in a rehabilitation center. I recommend this complany 100000 percent!
Kia ora Donna, Thank you so much for your kind words and taking your time to leave us with a glowing 5 star review. We are super stoked to hear that you had a wonderful travel experience with our guide Karthik and recommending our company 100000 percent! We can't wait to host you again and look forward to seeing you soon on some of our other travel experiences we offer (Adrenaline, Heritage and Unique Experiences). Until then, safe travels and kindest regards.
