Reviews: Waitomo Caves & Rotorua - Te Puia Small-Group Tour from Auckland
Guest User2024-07-30
Such a great trip! Grant (or Grant but in a kiwi accent) was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the culture and history during the long van rides. Glowworm caves were cool but the highlight for me was definitely the geysers. The whole experience was great and am so grateful that they offer a trip like this including transport since Rotorua is quite a distance away.
Note: this experience did not include a Māori performance or haka. If I read the description better I wouldve known that but that is the only thing I was a little bummed about. The experience is great, but just note what is actually included if thats what you are looking for.★

Reviews: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch
Guest User2025-09-02
David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.★

Reviews: Auckland: Waitomo Glowworm Caves Explorer Small Group Tour
Guest User2025-12-08
Our driver Deane was very personable, knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and took great care of the group. I had asked him earlier on the long drive where all the sheep were and on the drive back he kept an eye out for the sheep and pointed them out to me. He also kindly accommodated my request for an ice cream stop on the return journey. Our cave guide “Hop” was knowledgeable and funny. He provided a lot of information about the glow worms and their habitat as well as about the caves we visited. He was very kind in offering to take photos of everyone to make sure that everyone had a memento of their trip to the caves.
