Reviews: New Zealand Waitomo Glowworm Caves + Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ 1-day tour pure play 16-person group
Guest User2026-06-21
It's Cheeky Wiki, a well-known local travel agency. Our group wasn't large this time, and the driver-guide arranged for self-introductions and a Q&A session, like a teacher leading students. It was my first time in New Zealand, and I saw wormholes, geothermal activity, and kiwis for the first time. It was definitely worthwhile to experience it all in one day. Although the driving time was a bit long, there were frequent short breaks, and the time management was reasonable, so it didn't feel too tiring.

Absolutely amazing experience! The Skipper was extremely knowledgeable & made the cruise not only informative but fun. The shipmates were very welcoming & we chose Earnest Kemp because they are dog friendly & our dog was welcomed by not just staff but other guests!
