Things to do in Waitomo Glowworm Caves

My wife like glowworm and ask me to book the tour. After visiting today, I highly recommend this tour as I like it very much. It only takes half day. The guide and driver is so nice and introduces scenes and history of New Zealand. And Let us to experience feeding ostrich. Really, thanks to our guide, Adil, to let us experiencing this wonderful trip.

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.

Our Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, and Flexi Tours experience was absolutely amazing! Hobbiton truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth, with stunning scenery and incredible attention to detail. The glowworms in the Waitomo Caves were breathtaking, and our guide, Cuppa Tea, was informative, entertaining, and even treated us to a beautiful song. Bunty from Flexi Tours made our journey even more enjoyable with his friendly personality, fascinating insights about New Zealand, and a bonus stop at a beautiful hanging bridge. Our group of four felt safe, well looked after, and had an unforgettable trip. Highly recommend these experiences to anyone visiting New Zealand! 🇦🇺

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!

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.

Both the cave and Hobbies were great and Deane is a great tour guy telling us about NZ.

I really enjoyed the trip. I saw the kiwi birds, and they were very cute. Unfortunately, you can’t take photos of them because camera flashes and bright lights can damage their sensitive eyes. But the kiwi birds were very cute! Besides that, my favourite part of the trip was going to Blue Spring. It was so beautiful and looked unreal. In addition, our tour guide was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting things about New Zealand and Auckland.

The Greatsites bus driver/guide, Anthony, was hospitable, knowledgeable, accommodating,very kind and entertaining;he goes the extra mile;helped us bring our souvenirs back to the bus before the Hobbit tour started because we did not have time to go. We made another toilet break on the way back to Auckland,which was helpful. Anthony always had a smile on his face;made sure we were all safe, and looked after each other.Anthony is quite an asset to have. Thank you for the pleasant day Anthony. WAITOMO caves:the tour guide was very knowledgeable funny and helpful friendly.We felt the history of the place. It was like being in the movie Avatar with the cute glow worms shining their natural glow around us. HOBITTON: The set is wonderfully made. This was my wife’s anniversary present because I love LOTR so so much. The feeling was surreal. The tour guide helpful and knowledgeable. I wish we had more time overall. but we did have a large group also. Highly recommended tour.

Brad was an excellent guide. I often get stomach aches and motion sickness, but he made sure to have regular restroom breaks, and his driving was smooth with no sudden stops, which made me feel very comfortable. Of course, the scenery, the Hobbiton tour, and the glowworm tour were all wonderful. Even though I'm not very good at English, it was a small group tour, so everyone was friendly, and I had a great time.
