Things to do in Bastion Point

The driver was Raymond, and the best Korean-tailored bullet delivery driver👍 If I could speak English well, I think I would have enjoyed Hobbiton and the cave more while listening to the guide's explanation, but I had to go around as I pleased, so it was a little disappointing. The scenery was amazing, and I was satisfied with the pictures I took at every place I went, and the price was much cheaper than other packages, so it was the most satisfying trip. Honestly, I'm not sure if I would go again if I had the chance, but I think I wouldn't regret going at least once.

Very interactive and good indoor activity in Auckland when it's raining. Small groups and started on time!

This group departed from Auckland at 6am. It may not be the peak tourist season, there were only three of us, so it was considered a private tour. The tour bus has 10 seats (not including the driver and the co-driver), which is very spacious. The driver of this group, Raymond, was very friendly and briefly introduced the itinerary for today. Since it was still early, the journey took two and a half hours from Auckland Sky City Hotel, and we could catch up on sleep in the car. When we were about to visit Hobbiton, Raymond introduced the background of Hobbiton and led us to board the tour bus for a guided tour arranged by the park. The tour guide Emma was friendly and dedicated. She worked hard to introduce Hobbiton even when it was raining heavily. Due to the rain, we could not stay outdoors for too long, which was a pity. If you are a fan of the Hobbit movie, you will definitely be satisfied. At the end of the guided tour, there were free drinks to enjoy. In addition, the easter egg was that the park was undergoing maintenance and optimization projects, and each person who completed the guided tour was given a commemorative cup. Later we went to the Glowworm Cave. I had read about it online and it was worth a visit. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we couldn’t visit the entire cave by boat. What a pity.

amazing spots taken for the tour. i especially loved the cafe by narrow neck. bad weather all around but the guide made adjustments to the tour to accomodate and help with us enjoying the tour all throughout

our imaginations were unleashed after availing this tour with the whole family. 90minute tour to enjoy all the rooms they have prepared.

Amazing experience! The crew were all very knowledgeable about the ocean and marine life around it and were very happy to spot and update us on the birds and marine mammals in the area. We managed to catch some Common Dolphins and Bottlenose Dolphins during our cruise and were issued a complimentary voucher for our next visit (no expiry!) as we didn't manage to see any whales and they have a guarantee for all customers! It was also super cool to hear fun facts about the dolphins from their marine scientists onboard. Overall wonderful experience and I look forward to going back to Auckland and using up that complimentary voucher one day!

The tour guide Adil is very professional and enthusiastic, with good time management and rich itinerary arrangements. It is really worth the trip!

In addition to seeing a lot of dolphins following the boat, you can also see whales spraying water! In addition to watching animals, the staff will also introduce how biological-related scientific research is conducted, which is a good choice for education and entertainment! The staff also gave detailed safety explanations. I highly recommend this trip. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to watch the weather forecast, which may be cancelled sometimes.
