 Verified A Must-Do Adventure in Raglan
My two daughters and I had an absolute blast canyoning with Amy! Her experience , knowledge and professionalism were outstanding, and she was a true role model and adventurer. The river was amazing to traverse, and the glowworm canyon in the dark was such an exciting and unforgettable experience. We made some incredible memories together. The equipment was excellent, and the wetsuits were warm and comfortable, which made the whole adventure even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Karioi Glowworm Canyoning to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure!

 Verified Awesome Family Canyoning Experience
What an amazing first-time canyoning experience for the family. Ali and Harry provided very clear instructions (even unexpectedly in French), all the gear needed, great stories about the region and a wonderful scenery for canyoning. Highly recommend the Raglan Rock Adventure team!

 Verified Amazing adventure
We went canyoning yesterday and had an amazing experience! Our guide Francesco (I hope I’m spelling it right!) was fantastic – he explained everything clearly, helped us whenever we needed, and kept the energy up by chatting with us the whole time. The route was beautiful and all the information on the website matched what we got. We really enjoyed the whole adventure and might come back to try some of the other activities in the future. Highly recommended!

 Verified The most challenging night time glowworm tour
Eight of us had a great team building with Raglan Rock. Our Guides Dan and Brin were fantastic and took good care of us. This is a hard core way to see glow worms :-)

 Verified Amazing adventure 10/10
Absolutely fabulous caving experience with Raglan Rock! I went with my 8yr old boy who was excited but nervous. Our guide made him so confident and comfortable with her expertise and support that we had a wonderful time and he was able to get into even the highest and smallest of cave spaces in the tour. I had no idea it would be so spectacular or adventurous. We had a private guide for the 2 of us (even though we only booked a group tour). 10/10 would recommend. I’d bring a water bottle and a change of clothes. Wear shoes that can get wet and are easy to walk in. It’s a bit of a hot hike up a few hills before you reach the caves but it’s 100-% worth it.
