Must do tour!
Deane is the most amazing tour guide- and made my experience so much fun. I was able to see so much of New Zealand's best in such a short amount of time. I saw the Kiwi Birds, The GlowWorm Caves, and the beautiful Blue Springs. Deane truly made the tour group feel bonded, and gave us recommendations of where to eat/ ways to make the most out of our trip. Would recommend this tour for anyone who wants a memorable trip!

Wonderful time at Hobbiton!
We came to New Zealand specifically to visit Hobbiton. Our guide, Damian, picked us up from our CBD hotel promptly and off we went. He told us so many interesting things about New Zealand and got us hyped up for our visit to Hobbiton. He had loads of tips on how to maximize our enjoyment of Hobbiton. He was professional but also friendly and personable. I felt like he was our friend by the end of the tour. He was a great story teller and told us how the location of Hobbiton was discovered. Great guide and overall a great experience, thank you!

This is THE glow worm tour to do!
DO THIS GLOW WORM TOUR.!!!!! Andrew and I went on the 2 caves tour on Wednesday. Doug was our guide. We absolutely had a fabulous experience because of him. His knowledge was exceptional and the whole tour exceeded our expectations so much. This is a great family business that looks after the environment. Love the smaller groups too. Thank you Doug for a great memory made Kim and Andrew

On our day it was too windy to kayak to Rangitoto so we went to Browns Island instead. It was still the most amazing experience, I came on my own not sure what to expect. Ben and Milly were excellent guides and made sure we felt safe and were comfortable kayaking with a bit of wind around. The hike was great too, Ben was very knowledgeable about the area and Māori culture. It was a great experience.

A Must-Do!
New York City
From Auckland: Spellbound, Waitomo Glowworm Cave Small Group Tour
HereIcome, Sep 2026
A Must-Do!
This experience was better than we expected. Not only do you get great, non-rushed cave time, the glow worms are beyond interesting and beautiful. You also go through a second cave system (without glow worms) that is really cool as well. The guide at the cave was knowledgeable and passionate about the caves and their history. Our guide that drove us from Auckland to the caves (Jaime) was kind, funny and helpful, giving great commentary about the areas we were traveling through. He even had helpful recommendations on what to do and where to eat for the rest of our stay in Auckland. Highly recommend this tour - the drive to and from the caves was just as stunning as the caves themselves. The small tour group sizes are also appreciated. Don't hesitate - book it! (But also bring a warm jacket....the caves are chilly!)

Great Aukland adventure
An all day event that was great from Beginning to end. Timmy our guide provided safe travels from Aukland to Rotorua. Great advice and suggestions. The glow worm event was first and well worth attending. The Māori culture event was equally good. Loved the surprise stops along the way.
