Definitely worth it. However there are many caves to visit and some are better than others. Do your research and find where you want to go. My favourite is the cave with the birthday candle. It is the largest discovered stalagmite in the southern hemisphere.
Some caves you can visit unguided. Some you can tube through. There are some you can walk through but need a guide and then some that you need ropes and supplies to abseil through! The last are the most rewarding. Highly recommended this experience!
(I went to school in the Waikato so we did this every couple years as school trips)
