Waitomo Dagsutflykter

Turen var välorganiserad, informativ och njutbar från början till slut. Det var fascinerande att lära sig om historien och detaljerna bakom kulisserna av inspelningsplatsen. Landskapet var fantastiskt, och det fanns gott om möjligheter att ta minnesvärda foton. Den bekväma lyxbilen gjorde resan avkopplande och behaglig, vilket gjorde att vi kunde luta oss tillbaka och njuta av det vackra landskapet längs vägen.

En mycket trevlig upplevelse överlag! Älskade både Waitomo Caves-turen och Hobbiton Movie Set-turen. Alla guider var mycket tydliga och professionella i sina förklaringar, med inslag av humor. Rachel, busschauffören och huvudguiden, var också mycket lugnande, ansvarsfull och tydlig i sina instruktioner. Vi såg många vackra frigående får och kor längs vägen. Mycket prisvärt. Bussbussen var också bekväm!

Det var magiska Hobbiton Movie Set och Glow Worm Caves. Fantastisk dagstur! Jättegod lunch också. Beröm till vår guide Richard, även om han är ny, gjorde han sitt bästa för att göra det minnesvärt för oss. Rekommenderas varmt med 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!

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.

Det var en fantastisk dag. Hobbiton var fantasifullt och detaljerat med en utsökt lunch, Waitomo-grottorna var vackra, och bilresan från Waitomo tillbaka till Rotorua var en upplevelse i sig med hisnande vyer.

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.

Due to insufficient participants for the Kiwi House tour, it was changed to a caves-only visit. The driver was very friendly and attentive to the elderly, and also offered travel advice for those visiting other parts of New Zealand. This tour visits two caves. In the first cave, we took a small boat, and the number of glowworms was incredibly abundant and spectacular. The guide's photography skills were excellent, capturing great photos even in the dark cave. The second cave had fewer glowworms and focused mainly on viewing stalactites.

Resan är väldigt, väldigt spännande och lite utmanande när vi klättrar genom klipporna för att nå lysmaskarnas livsmiljöer, och det är helt klart värt det! Guiden är dessutom superrolig och hjälpsam!
