Things to do in Waikato

The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was fascinating to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes details of the set. The scenery was stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take memorable photos. The comfortable luxury van made the journey relaxing and pleasant, allowing us to sit back and take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

very lovely tour giving us enough time to explore and we even arrived early back in auckland. Our driver and guide made the trip so much more enjoyable and filled us in on interesting insights along the way, will come back again with family!

If the app offered more than 5-stars, this one was definitely a solid 10-star experience. Our guide, Alessandro, had the humor, wit and presence that made the whole trip very memorable - he was very funny and knowledgeable, the 2-hour trip to and from Hobbiton was an entirely different experience. Our family has been through so many travel guides, and by far, Alessandro of Cheeky Kiwi is a paramount best! What an experience of a lifetime.

This was such a cool place!!! It was so much fun to learn about filming in the place where it all happened!

The guide was very humorous and witty, and their photography skills were also quite good. I initially thought it would be tiring, but it wasn't at all. Inside, you can see not only fireflies but also many stalactites. I highly recommend checking it out. We drove ourselves there, and the location wasn't hard to find.

【I can definitely give this 5 stars】I highly recommend this tour. However, be prepared for a long drive. It takes about two to two and a half hours to reach the Cathedral Cove parking area, and then another 30-minute walk to get down to Cathedral Cove itself. The 30-minute walk there is fine, but the return trip is quite tiring. You'll spend about one to two hours at the beach. You can check the water temperature and weather to decide if you want to go for a swim; I recommend it. Second, Hot Water Beach is a lot of fun! Everyone digs in the sand with tools to create their own hot spring pools, and the water is genuinely hot—it's very interesting! Third, the tour guide will share fascinating stories and information about New Zealand's plants and trees throughout the journey. Fourth, there are no Chinese-speaking services here. If your English listening and speaking skills aren't strong, you should prepare a translation app. If your English isn't good, you'll miss out on a lot of the fun.

amazing trip.grant our guide of cheeky kiwi tours was very friendly and supportive .james from hobbiton had a great commentary .we had to choose between tepuia /waitqpo.both cannot be done.tirau was not included in the trip

I really enjoyed my visit, especially our tour guide, Dave from Cheeky Travel. He made the tour so much fun and made sure to explain everything we were seeing along the way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Rotorua is truly a must-visit destination—I absolutely loved my time here and can't wait to come back!

it was great! the trip was very well organised and the guide was superb!
