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.

A very lovely experience on the whole! Loved both the Waitomo Caves tour and the Hobbiton Movie set tour. All the guides were very clear and professional in their explanation, with drops of humour. Rachel the bus driver and main guide was also very reassuring, responsible and clear in instructions. we saw many lovely free range sheeps and cows along the way. very valuable for money. the coach bus was also comfortable!

It was magical Hobbiton Movie Set and the Glow Worm Caves. Great day tour! Great lunch too. Kudos to our guide Richard even though his new, He tried his best to make it memorable for us. Highly Recommended tour with 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!

It was a great day. Hobbiton was whimsical and detailed with a delicious lunch, Waitomo caves were beautiful, and the drive from Waitomo back to Rotorua was an experience of it self with breathtaking views

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.

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.

Amazing and such an unique experience! Our guide Simon is knowledgeable in introducing not only the worm cave but also the history and fun fact of New Zealand.

Using the Klook Pass New Zealand was one of the best decisions during my trip. It turned out to be a big money saver.
I wanted to do several activities but was worried about the weather. Fortunately, the pass offers flexible cancellation, which made planning much easier. For example, I cancelled my Glowworm Cave tour two days in advance and rebooked another time when the weather was better. The booking and cancellation process was very quick and simple.
I used the pass for Shotover Jet in Queenstown, whale watching in Kaikōura, and the Glowworm Cave in Rotorua. Overall, the savings were significant—it basically felt like one activity was free.
The only thing to keep in mind is making sure you use all the activities before leaving New Zealand and check the weather so you can adjust your bookings if needed.
If you’re planning to do multiple activities, this pass is definitely worth it and saves a lot of money.
Waitomo at a glance
What to know before visiting Waitomo
Top experiences and seasonal rhythm
Waitomo Caves is best known for its guided Tours, with water-based activities also available but far fewer bookings. Demand builds strongly through spring and peaks in November, then drops to its lowest in June, so the busiest experiences cluster around the warmer part of the year.
Best activities for families, couples and solo travellers
Families will most often choose Tours — they offer a range of access levels and are the dominant way to see the caves and glowworms. Couples looking for a memorable outing can mix a scenic Tour with one of the Water activities for something a little more adventurous and intimate. Solo travellers and small groups will find Tours easiest to join at short notice, while Water activities suit those after a focused, active experience.
What travellers from Australia should book ahead
Most visitors from Australia can stay fairly flexible: typical bookings here are made around three weeks ahead, and last-minute options still exist within about five days. If you’re visiting in the peak month of November it’s wise to secure key Tours earlier — the earliest planners tend to book roughly seven weeks out.
How categories compare on price and who they suit
Water activities are the easiest way in on price and sit below Tours on the mid-range to premium scale, making them a solid choice for cost-conscious active visitors. Tours are the priciest category on average and also offer the widest range of price options, so they suit everyone from budget-minded travellers to those after a more premium guided experience. In short, pick Water activities for a lower-entry, activity-led visit and Tours for the broadest choices and tailored levels of comfort.
