Passeios em Waitomo Glowworm Caves

First, we walked through the cave, admiring the beautiful natural art created by the stalactites. Then, we boarded a boat and continued deeper into the cave. In the silent cave, the occasional sound of dripping water echoed, and looking up at the ceiling where the glowworms' lights flickered, I was enveloped in a strange sensation, as if I were in another world. The cave tour itself lasted just under an hour. Although it was a long 5-hour round trip from Auckland, I'm glad I went. On the way there, we stopped at a coffee shop for a light meal. Photography is prohibited inside the cave, so at the entrance, they took a blue-screen photo of us, and after the tour, we could purchase data or prints that combined our photo with images from inside the cave.

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.

Um passeio muito agradável, dando-nos tempo suficiente para explorar e até chegamos cedo de volta a Auckland. Nosso motorista e guia tornaram a viagem muito mais agradável e nos deram informações interessantes ao longo do caminho, voltaremos novamente com a família!

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.

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! 🇦🇺

it was great! the trip was very well organised and the guide was superb!

Brad foi um guia maravilhoso. Eu costumo ter dor de estômago e enjoo de carro facilmente, mas houve paradas regulares para ir ao banheiro e a condução foi suave, sem freadas bruscas, o que me deixou tranquila. É claro que a paisagem, o passeio pela Vila Hobbiton e o passeio pelas grutas dos vaga-lumes foram todos excelentes. Embora eu não seja muito boa em inglês, como era um passeio em grupo pequeno, todos foram amigáveis e eu me diverti muito.

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!

Guia turístico excelente. Reservei o destino errado para Rotorua, então fiquei em pânico quando percebi. Ao continuar ligando para o Serviço de Atendimento ao Cliente, felizmente eles atenderam e me permitiram mudar para uma viagem de ida e volta para Auckland às 7h no dia da viagem. Agradeço muito por isso! Aproveitei bastante a viagem. A natureza da Nova Zelândia é incrível!
