Passeios por Waitomo Glowworm Caves

I had a reservation for a specific time slot, so I presented my mobile voucher at the counter to check in. During the shuttle transfer, a short video was played, giving a welcoming feeling and an exciting sense that a fantasy world was about to unfold! The guide led everyone on a tour of the park. It's crucial to keep up and not wander off or linger, as you need to seize the time to enjoy the scenery or take photos; once you miss something, there's no going back. The guide spoke entirely in English, but it didn't matter if I didn't understand all the explanations; I still had a great time! The guide even helped with photos! The last stop was a restaurant and bar, where everyone could choose one free drink. I opted for the only non-alcoholic option, ginger ale, which was a large, delicious, and filling drink! I really wanted to sit by the warm fireplace for an hour or two, but unfortunately, we only had a few brief minutes (maybe half an hour, or even less, I've forgotten a bit). Besides the free drink, there was also self-serve coffee available. Upon leaving the park, everyone received a souvenir-shaped cup. P.S.: Before entering the park, the guide asked if anyone didn't know why they were there. I really wanted to raise my hand because I hadn't even seen the related movies or books. When planning the itinerary, I even considered skipping this man-made attraction to save some travel expenses, but I'm so glad I came! The natural scenery is beautiful, and the architecture, decorations, and various objects are all exquisitely crafted, as if they were naturally formed! Of course, they are also meticulously maintained! It's definitely worth a visit!

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.

Excellent, et fortement recommandé - Visite en petit groupe (maximum 6-8 personnes) avec Ash, un guide expérimenté, très amical et serviable. Tout l'équipement nécessaire est fourni, y compris la tenue d'exploration de grotte, les bottes et le casque avec lampe frontale. Voir le système de grottes souterraines était à la fois humble et impressionnant ; les vers luisants ressemblaient à des constellations sur le plafond de la grotte.

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!

Hanoz was our guide. He had the 8 people in the group introduce themselves. I mostly enjoyed the caves. My son loved the geysers. Anyway, I loved that they were generous with their bottled drinking water and snacks. Their transport allows you to charge your phones. The ostrich feeding experience was fun.

Tuvimos la oportunidad de caminar por 2 cuevas diferentes durante 2 horas, en un grupo de 12 personas. Mucho mejor que en las grandes y publicitadas cuevas de Waitomo. Tuvimos muchas oportunidades para tomar fotos, paseamos en balsa de goma, vimos luciérnagas de cerca y pudimos hacer muchas preguntas.

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.

Diese Tour war unglaublich gut organisiert und die kleine Gruppengröße machte das Erlebnis persönlich und entspannt. Hobbiton war absolut magisch – wunderschön gepflegt und persönlich noch besser. Die Waitomo Glühwürmchenhöhlen waren atemberaubend und anders als alles, was ich zuvor gesehen habe. Unser Reiseleiter war freundlich, sachkundig und teilte den ganzen Tag über großartige Einblicke. Der Transport war komfortabel und alles lief reibungslos. Ich kann diese Tour jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der ein unvergessliches und stressfreies Erlebnis wünscht!
