Troll Cave at Waitomo

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?

You need to go on adventure…You need to go on Troll Patrol!
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 imagine 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.
