The last scene of The Hobbit was filmed on the mountainside. Caves are amazing and they offer a guided tour at a great price.

Our No1 pic, one of the best, easily accessible cave networks you'll come across. Its a family run business, $20per adult less for others. The tours start on the hour so be there at least 15 mins before to pay otherwise you may miss a bit of the tour or have to wait for the next one, each tour lasts approx. 45 mins. There is a small café and shop also on site.

An excellent trip under ground:-) A large variety of stalagmites and stalactites, also featuring an excellent skeletal display of the extinct moa. Has a cafe too.

Ngarua Caves – (53km) Our family enjoyed taking a guided tour through the caves. It's a walk-through cave, no crawling through tight spaces! Adults $25 and child (5-15) $10.
