The track to the caves is really easy. We only have done one cave as it was physical enough to go till the end. Please don't forget to bring head torch and good shoes as it might be slippery inside.
It's a really cool thing to do, think about turning your head torch off from time to time to enjoy the glow worms.
We were alone in the caves and it made this moment even more magic with only the sound of the water dropping on the rocks

The caves are a great one day adventure and free. There are 3 caves located in a limestone park. You absolutely need a light, one that you wear on your head for each person is best. There is water flowing in all the caves from ankle to chest deep so wear appropriate foot wear as it is very slippery almost throughout. The water level will also change with rain. The caves are accessible for most people in good shape. You do have to climb down boulders to enter the caves. It it not recommended for small children or elderly people. Parking is limited to the side of the road and thefts are a problem so don't leave anything in your car.

Schöne Höhlen. Vorsichtig wir wurden auf dem Parkplatz ausgeraubt. Es gibt keine Kameras oder sonstiges. Unsere Autoscheibe wurde eingeschlagen und alle unsere Wertsachen sowie Dokumente wurden geklaut. Also alle Wertsachen mit nehmen!

Come prepared and enjoy!
Δεκ 2019
We went prepared - I was hoping to find a cave like this o our New Zealand trip. We have several bright headlamps and proper footgear for scaling wet rocks and slogging through watery caves. My daughter and I love when you can find places like this - not over run with tourists or homogenized for the masses. These caves can be tough to climb down into and yes, you have to plan and bring lights and yes, plan and bring correct footgear, but that is part of the experience. I passed up the well advertised "Glow Worm Caves" so I didn't have to commune with the masses and found the little beauties right here for free. The walk through the property is amazing and climbing into the cattle pastures is a different experience. There are amazing rock formations here - very well worth the hike! I loved my morning here at Abbey Caves!

Serious caving

You have to be well prepared for these. Footwear that can get wet, strong head torch, helmet and strong knees. The entrances to the caves are steep and slippery. Almost dangerous. However, even if you don’t go down the caves, the terrain is amazing for the one hour walk. Rock formations like another planet.

Ideal self guided, free cave for beginners who are into glowworms
Δεκ 2019
Easy access (10 mins by car from city centre, then 10 min walk downhill).
You shouldn't be afraid to wade in an underground river knee depp, wear at least 2 torches (headlight recommended) and good footwear that can be used in water.
only the first 20 metres are a climb down some slightly wet muddy rocks, then it is basically walking in an underground stream. In Nov(Dec it was not to cold to wade fo about an hour.
95 % of the time I could walk upright (I am 193cm tall), only little obstacles on the way (2m traversing or wade hip deep).
Main bonus:
almost empty if you go early (before 10 am), easy orientation
(follow the river),
free with fantastic glowworms (switch of the torch and there they are ... like stars in the sky)
Nice stalagtite sin Organ Cave
Cool 70cm eels are swimming in the river and inspect your legs/feet very leisurely ... interesting encounter
Organ Cave - the biggest - can be done in about 1.5 hrs from parking lot (about 1hr return actually in cave)
It is not dangerous as such but:
Don't go alone or inform someone ...
Take at least 1 spare torch ... make sure your light also works when wet.
Check the weather: After/during rainfalls or when these are expected it is dangerous, as the water levels can massively rise very quickly!
Do not go in if you are not comfortable with immersing in cold water knee or hip deep, confined spaces or climbing (short passages) over wet rock.

the caves are explore at your own risk, so DO NOT go if you are not experienced, but if you have some experience in caving, rocklcimbing etc then take your torch and go and explore some amazing wet caves - look out for eels.
if not, you can walk around the perimeter, there are some good rock features worth visiting

Was a great afternoon exploring, we found middle cave the easiest with younger kids 5,7 and 11 spent quite a while venturing in and seeing the glow worms a first for the kids, 1st and 2rd caves we decided not to enter due to not being prepared with proper shoes and head torches. Easy walk but a few fences to climb over.

Interesting caves

The Abbey Caves actually consist of 3 undeveloped limestone caves in that area. I only went to the entrance of the Organ Cave. I did not go in as I was not equipped. You would need a torch and be prepared to get wet to hip level. I met 2 guys who emerged soaked till their hips. They said it was very beautiful and looked like stacked pancakes. A circular track of 1300 metres leads you to the 3 caves.

Would it be best to go see glow worms at Abbey Cave rather than Waitomo? Is the experience the same?

Abbey caves does not offer guided tour, nor has had any health and safety checks. It is an enter at your own risk caves. But if you want to exploring without a tour guide then yes, you would still see glow worms there. Just be prepared and have the right gear! There’s also an alternative that might be an easier cave if you’re only after glow worms; which is the Waipu cave. Plenty of glow worms in there, it’s free and more accessible.
