Q:
Hi! We are traveling in Nov and looking at the caves, We will have 2 Adults and a 18 month old. Wondering if the Ruakuri Cave is the best option given we can take a stoller as its wheelchair friendly? I really want to do the Waitomo caves but considerate that silence is needed for best experience for us and others and you never know with a 1 year old, or would this still be an option for us? thanks!
A:
Yes you can take a stroller and the acoustics in the main cavern are great, the toddler will add to the singing. They will ge fine on the boat as well.
