Waitomo Glowworm Caves-turer

Først går vi gjennom og utforsker grotten. Den naturlige kunsten skapt av stalaktittene er vakker. Deretter tar vi en båttur dypere inn i grotten. I den stille grotten hørtes lyden av vanndråper av og til, og når jeg så opp på taket der glødeormenes lys flimret, følte jeg meg omsluttet av en merkelig følelse, som om jeg var i en annen verden. Selve grotteturen varte i under en time. Selv om det er en lang tur på fem timer tur-retur fra Auckland, synes jeg det var verdt det. På veien dit stoppet vi på en kaffebar og fikk en lett matbit. Fotografering er ikke tillatt inne i grotten, så ved inngangen kan du få tatt et bilde foran en blå bakgrunn, og etter turen kan du kjøpe data eller utskrifter der bildet ditt er kombinert med bilder fra grotten.

Turen var godt organisert, informativ og hyggelig fra start til slutt. Det var fascinerende å lære om historien og detaljene bak kulissene på settet. Naturen var fantastisk, og det var mange muligheter til å ta minneverdige bilder. Den komfortable luksusvarebilen gjorde reisen avslappende og behagelig, slik at vi kunne lene oss tilbake og nyte den vakre naturen underveis.

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 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 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.

Nice tour guide. I wrongly booked the destination to Rotorua, so I was so panicked when I noticed this. By keeping calling the CS, luckily they answered and let me change to round-trip back to Auckland at 7am on the trip day. Thanksful for that! Enjoyed a lot in the trip. The nature of NZ is so amazing!

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.

Vår opplevelse med Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves og Flexi Tours var helt fantastisk! Hobbiton føltes virkelig som å tre inn i Midgard, med fantastisk natur og utrolig sans for detaljer. Glowwormsene i Waitomo Caves var betagende, og guiden vår, Cuppa Tea, var informativ, underholdende og bød oss til og med på en vakker sang. Bunty fra Flexi Tours gjorde reisen vår enda mer fornøyelig med sin vennlige personlighet, fascinerende innsikt om New Zealand, og et bonusstopp ved en vakker hengebro. Vår gruppe på fire følte seg trygge, godt ivaretatt og hadde en uforglemmelig tur. Anbefaler disse opplevelsene på det sterkeste til alle som besøker New Zealand! 🇦🇺

The scenery in Hobbiton was great. Special thanks to our guide, Andrew, who did an amazing job. As for the glow worm caves, it was a short tour. The silent boat ride through the dark however make it seems almost otherworldly
