Waitomo Glowworm Caves rundturer

Först får man promenera runt inne i grottan och titta. Stalaktiterna skapar vacker naturgonst. Därefter stiger man i en båt och färdas vidare in i grottan. När man blickar upp mot taket, där den tysta grottan då och då fylls av ljudet av droppande vatten och lysmaskarnas sken fladdrar, omsluts man av en mystisk känsla av att befinna sig i en annan värld. Själva grottvandringen tar lite under en timme. Det är en lång resa på fem timmar tur och retur från Auckland, men det var helt klart värt det. På ditvägen stannade vi till vid ett kafé för att äta en lättare måltid. Fotografering är förbjudet inne i grottan, men man kan ta ett foto framför en blå bakgrund vid ingången och efter turen köpa utskrifter eller digitala filer där bilden har satts ihop med motiv från grottans inre.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

Vår upplevelse med Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves och Flexi Tours var helt fantastisk! Hobbiton kändes verkligen som att kliva in i Middle-earth, med storslagen natur och en otrolig känsla för detaljer. Lysmaskarna i Waitomo Caves var andetagande, och vår guide, Cuppa Tea, var informativ, underhållande och bjöd oss till och med på en vacker sång. Bunty från Flexi Tours gjorde vår resa ännu trevligare med sin vänliga personlighet, fascinerande insikter om Nya Zeeland och ett extrastopp vid en vacker hängbro. Vår grupp på fyra personer kände sig trygg, väl omhändertagen och fick en oförglömlig resa. Rekommenderar varmt dessa upplevelser till alla som besöker Nya Zeeland! 🇦🇺

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
