Troll Cave at Waitomo

Troll Cave at Waitomo Troll Cave is a brand new adventure for children in Waitomo
How can you get to see the Troll? You need to go on adventure…You need to go on Troll Patrol!

A brand new adventure activity for children young and old in Waitomo
New Zealand. This is a boutique adventure, your group is guaranteed an exclusive experience. How can you get to see the Troll? Since we accidentally destroyed his home, Tom the Troll now lives in an artificial purpose-built Trollcave at Waitomo. This is The World’s First Underground Eco Sanctuary. So - you don’t have to just ima

gine him - You can actually visit Tom at Trollcave. The people at Trollcave need your help to look after the Troll – he might be scary but he is after all a “one of a kind child of nature”. Like many endangered animals (e.g. Polar Bears and Rhinos) Tom has been fitted with a tracker unit to help us look after him. Unfortunately, Trolls turn out to be very hard on their tracking units – they wreck them all the time. Fortunately, it also turns out that Trolls spend a lot of their time just sleeping on rock piles – especially during the daytime. (It’s a very different story at night time when they come out of their caves to hunt their prey)
So - if you’ve got what it takes - if you’re clever and brave and very quiet then (hopefully) you can sneak up on Tom and change his tracker unit. You can become part of the awesome Troll Patrol team ! We’ve found that being light-footed and smaller, some kids are especially good at this and are actually better than adults. As you might expect, some kids are a lot better (or luckier) than others. Maximum group size 8 : Please contact us for larger groups

Thanks for the great review Troll Patrollers

Starting at the beginning with a lovely, child friendly welcome at reception, the Waitomo Troll Cave experience is really a thrilling, fun and interactive adventure for the kids. Once venturing off to the cave itself, the scares started early before the children even got inside (mild, but fun!!) Peter really makes this whole experience - his story telling, his interaction with the kids, the mild adult humour, Peter is clearly someone who is both passionate and loves what he does. The experience itself was better for our 10 and 13 year old (just the scary parts...) however, the 5, 7 and 8 year old raved about it the entire way home and nearing the end. Easily the best escape room experience we have taken our children through and us 3 adults loved it just as much. The water, the lights, the tunnels within the cave are awesomely believable for the children and the whole thing is certainly a value for money experience. All happy girls on the drive home, already asking for their next visit. Thanks so much Waitomo Adventures and especially, Troll Cave team!
