Waitomo Jednodenní výlety

Prohlídka byla od začátku do konce dobře organizovaná, poučná a zábavná. Bylo fascinující dozvědět se o historii a zákulisních detailech natáčení. Scenérie byla ohromující a bylo zde mnoho příležitostí k pořízení nezapomenutelných fotografií. Pohodlná luxusní dodávka učinila cestu relaxační a příjemnou, což nám umožnilo pohodlně se usadit a vychutnat si krásnou scenérii podél cesty.

Celkově velmi příjemný zážitek! Líbila se mi jak prohlídka jeskyní Waitomo, tak i prohlídka filmové scény Hobitín. Všichni průvodci byli ve svých vysvětleních velmi srozumitelní a profesionální, s kapkou humoru. Rachel, řidička autobusu a hlavní průvodkyně, byla také velmi uklidňující, zodpovědná a jasná v pokynech. Cestou jsme viděli mnoho krásných ovcí a krav z volného chovu. Velmi dobrá hodnota za peníze. Autobus byl také pohodlný!

Byl to kouzelný filmový set Hobitín a jeskyně Glow Worm. Skvělý celodenní výlet! Také skvělý oběd. Pochvala našemu průvodci Richardovi, i když je nový, snažil se ze všech sil, aby pro nás byl výlet nezapomenutelný. Vřele doporučujeme tento výlet s Cheeky Kiwi Tours.

This is a review from someone who has never watched The Lord of the Rings. Overall, the tour was efficient, enjoyable, and very smooth from start to finish. The bus stop near the Sky Tower was easy to find, and the staff kindly helped me when I asked. I had accidentally booked a one-way ticket, but they informed me in advance so I could change it to a round trip — something to keep in mind! Our driver, Todd, was funny, engaging, and very kind. At the Waitomo Caves, the guide explains everything as you walk through. The main highlight, the boat ride, is a no-photo area, but you can purchase a composite photo afterward. The Hobbiton tour lasts about two hours, with plenty of time to take photos without rushing. Even without knowing the movie, I still enjoyed the beautiful, storybook-like scenery. My husband, who is a fan, said it was the highlight of our New Zealand trip. It was a full and very satisfying day — definitely worth the price!

Both of the main attractions, the Glowworm Caves and the Geothermal Valley, were better than some of the Australian attractions I visited last year, and were of a higher quality and more distinctive. The driver, Mike, was very proactive and had an in-depth knowledge of the Maori people. In addition to driving, he also led the work of the tour guide and team leader, and gave a detailed account of Maori history along the way, which made the long journey of several hours less boring. Although there was WiFi available on the bus, I only had the opportunity to ask the driver for the password after getting on the bus and stopping for a short break. It would be better if the driver could proactively tell everyone the password before departure.

Byl to skvělý den. Hobbiton byl rozmarný a detailní s vynikajícím obědem, jeskyně Waitomo byly nádherné a cesta z Waitomo zpět do Rotoruy byla sama o sobě zážitkem s dechberoucími výhledy.

Our tour guide, Adil, was very professional and friendly. He shared New Zealand's history, animals, food, and some interesting stories. He also gave us very helpful advice at each attraction, which was truly wonderful! Hobbiton was my favorite part of the North Island tour; even if you haven't seen the movies, you definitely won't regret coming here. It's absolutely beautiful.

Due to insufficient participants for the Kiwi House tour, it was changed to a caves-only visit. The driver was very friendly and attentive to the elderly, and also offered travel advice for those visiting other parts of New Zealand. This tour visits two caves. In the first cave, we took a small boat, and the number of glowworms was incredibly abundant and spectacular. The guide's photography skills were excellent, capturing great photos even in the dark cave. The second cave had fewer glowworms and focused mainly on viewing stalactites.

the journey is very very exciting and little bit challenging as we climb through the rocks to reach the gloworms habitats, and it’s totally worth it! The guide is super funny and helpful as well!
