Waitomo Glowworm Caves- Small Group Tours

Published on Feb, 2025

Such a great trip & our private guide Kris was awesome! He informed us of New Zealand history & his car was so nice & luxurious! 10/10 recommend!

Black car tour from auckland to waitomo caves

Published on Dec, 2024

The whole experience was fantastic! Black car transfers and tours was the way to go. The car was very nice, clean and a smooth ride. Kris, or driver and guide was great! He was very friendly, had a great conversation and he provided a lot of information on New Zealand, and other activities we can look into for the rest of our trip. Would definitely book another tour with Kris and black car. The caves were fascinating and the guides were knowledge and patient with all the guests. A must do day trip.

Private chauffeur to and from, is the way to go.

Published on Nov, 2024

Glowworms cave are only found in NZ. the Waitomo are the highest recommended. A must see, well run and presentation was perfect. You must book early it is always full, do not miss out. Great private chauffeur to and from the pier is the perfect way to and from.

Once in a lifetime experience

Published on Apr, 2024

Our tour guide was “Cup of T” and he was so entertaining but knowledgeable! The caves are stunning…it’s truly a once in a lifetime experience to see the glowworms.

Wonderful day with Kris

Published on Apr, 2024

Kris was a wonderful guide. He picked us up from airport, took us to highlights of Auckland, then drove us to the glow worm caves. The ability to customize our day was great! He was very professional, but personal. The car was beautiful and stocked with water and snacks! I would highly recommend Kris for your guide!
