Reviews: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch
Guest User2025-09-02
David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.
Reviews: Waitomo Caves & Rotorua - Te Puia Small-Group Tour from Auckland

Such a great trip! Grant (or Grant but in a kiwi accent) was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the culture and history during the long van rides. Glowworm caves were cool but the highlight for me was definitely the geysers. The whole experience was great and am so grateful that they offer a trip like this including transport since Rotorua is quite a distance away. Note: this experience did not include a Māori performance or haka. If I read the description better I wouldve known that but that is the only thing I was a little bummed about. The experience is great, but just note what is actually included if thats what you are looking for.

This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!

Great evening-fun and informative. Food was great too. Just make sure you bring layers of clothes - we were quite cold.
Reviews: New Zealand Rotorua Glowworm Kayaking Tour
Guest User2026-03-04
It was a perfect trip! Frank was incredibly kind to book our Lantern Festival tour. Our local New Zealand guide, Classy, ​​picked us up on time at the Rotorua Visitor Centre and took us to Lake Okareka. We stopped at their shop along the way to explain what to wear and provide free kayaking gear. Upon arrival at the lake, they provided kayaks and paddles and offered paddling lessons, which was very helpful for kayaking beginners like us. We were divided into groups of 3-4 kayaks, each led by Classy and Sharon, to observe glowworms scattered across the lake and in caves. They explained everything to us, and their service was professional, warm, and attentive. At the last cave, they even offered local snacks and hot cocoa. The tranquil night, paddling on the lake under a sky full of stars, with glowworms twinkling like stars in the caves, was a truly wonderful experience.

This was the highlight of our trip, beautiful, very easy going kayaking. Lovely guides. Even if you’ve seen glowworms elsewhere, this is next level. We felt very safe and well cared for throughout the experience. Would recommend hiring the backrest (additional $10) for comfort.
