Ruakuri was first opened to tourists by James Holden in 1904.  For over 15 years it has been closed to the public and is scheduled to reopen again early 2005.  The cave is the longest and most complex of all three original tourist caves in the Waitomo region and features amazing cave formations and underground secrets.  Enter the realms of an underground universe and listen to the ancient drumbeat of the earth.  Narrow winding corridors, hidden waterfalls and amazing cave decorations wait to be discovered. 

Ruakuri Cave is wheelchair accessible.
