Prehliadky 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.

Prehliadka bola dobre zorganizovaná, poučná a príjemná od začiatku do konca. Bolo fascinujúce dozvedieť sa o histórii a zákulisných detailoch natáčania. Scenéria bola úžasná a bolo tu množstvo príležitostí na vytvorenie nezabudnuteľných fotografií. Pohodlná luxusná dodávka spríjemnila a uvoľnila cestu, čo nám umožnilo pohodlne sa usadiť a vychutnať si krásnu scenériu po ceste.

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!

Výlet som si veľmi užil. Videl som kivie a boli veľmi roztomilé. Bohužiaľ, nemôžete ich fotografovať, pretože blesky fotoaparátov a jasné svetlo môžu poškodiť ich citlivé oči. Ale kivie boli naozaj veľmi roztomilé! Okrem toho bola mojou najobľúbenejšou časťou výletu návšteva Modrej prameňov (Blue Spring). Bolo to také krásne, až to vyzeralo neskutočne. Náš sprievodca bol navyše veľmi milý a povedal nám veľa zaujímavých vecí o Novom Zélande a Aucklande.

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! 🇦🇺

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
