Cheeky Kiwi glowworms and Rotarura

Published on Feb, 2025

Great alternative to renting a car. It is a lot of travel time but stunning scenery. Our driver/guide Michael made the trip with commentary on many topics: historical, geological, ecological, etc. He also has an eclectic and fascinating playlist. The highlight of my 5 days in Aukland.

This was an amazing tour,...

This was an amazing tour, long, but it is definitely worth it. John was our guide and he has a great, fun personality. He kept us moving along and shared interesting information about New Zealand. There are plenty of stops for bathroom breaks and to get a quick bite to eat, but you do have to move quickly.

Great tour

Our tour guide Michael was super and the tour was very enjoyable. Te Puia was definitely a highlight and the caves were cool

Awesome

Published on Feb, 2025

Was an awesome experience. Driver and tour guides were very knowledgeable. Glow worm cave was magic. Only one fault the day was a little longer with lots of driving. Glad we went though!

Amazing day

Published on Feb, 2025

Our tour to Waitomo Caves and Rotorua was an unforgettable experience. The glowworm caves were absolutely magical, with thousands of tiny lights creating a surreal atmosphere. The boat ride through the caves was peaceful and mesmerizing. Rotorua was equally impressive, with its bubbling geothermal pools, steaming geysers, and rich Māori culture. We had the chance to visit a traditional Māori village, enjoy a cultural performance, and even try a delicious hangi meal. The entire trip was well-organized, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting New Zealand!
