   • Waitomo Caves, New Zealand
   • Activities › Caving, adventure tour

   These guys run a Black Labyrinth tour ($119, three hours), which involves floating in a wetsuit on an inner tube down a river that flows through Ruakuri Cave. The highlight is leaping off a small waterfall and then floating through a long, glowworm-covered passage. The trip ends with showers, soup and bagels in the cafe. The Black Abyss tour (five hours, $220) is more adventurous and includes a 35m abseil into Ruakuri Cave, a flying fox and more glowworms and tubing. Minimum ages apply.
