Coisas para fazer em Waitomo

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!

Usar o Klook Pass Nova Zelândia foi uma das melhores decisões durante a minha viagem. Acabou por ser uma grande poupança de dinheiro. Eu queria fazer várias atividades, mas estava preocupado com o tempo. Felizmente, o passe oferece cancelamento flexível, o que tornou o planeamento muito mais fácil. Por exemplo, cancelei a minha excursão à Caverna dos Pirilampos com dois dias de antecedência e reservei novamente para outra altura em que o tempo estava melhor. O processo de reserva e cancelamento foi muito rápido e simples. Usei o passe para o Shotover Jet em Queenstown, observação de baleias em Kaikōura e a Caverna dos Pirilampos em Rotorua. No geral, as poupanças foram significativas – basicamente, parecia que uma atividade era gratuita. A única coisa a ter em mente é certificar-se de que usa todas as atividades antes de sair da Nova Zelândia e verificar o tempo para poder ajustar as suas reservas, se necessário. Se está a planear fazer várias atividades, este passe definitivamente vale a pena e poupa muito dinheiro.

Foi mágico o cenário do filme Hobbiton e as Cavernas de Vagalumes. Ótimo passeio de um dia! Ótimo almoço também. Parabéns ao nosso guia Richard, mesmo sendo novo, ele se esforçou ao máximo para tornar a experiência memorável para nós. Passeio altamente recomendado com a 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!

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.

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.

Foi um dia ótimo. Hobbiton era caprichoso e detalhado, com um almoço delicioso, as cavernas de Waitomo eram lindas, e a viagem de Waitomo de volta a Rotorua foi uma experiência por si só, com vistas deslumbrantes.

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.
