Encyclopedia: Waitomo Caves

The Waitomo Caves are located in the southern Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand, 12 kilometres northwest of Te Kuiti. The town of Waitomo Caves itself has a population of less than 40, though there are many service workers (sometimes foreigners on student work permits) living temporarily in the area. Several companies, large and small, specialise in leading tourists through the caves, from easily accessible areas with hundreds of tourists per hour in the peak season, to extreme sports-like crawls into cave systems which are only seen by a few tourists each day.
