Reviews: Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-06-26
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!★

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: From Auckland: Waitomo Caves and Kiwi House Group Tour
Guest User2026-01-25
If you want me to rate these trips - don’t dismiss and downplay my experience like you did on my last recap. Kori (guide at the caves) was exceptional. He was funny and wise and gave us much instruction in advance to avoid any complications in the dark and entering and exiting the boat. The driver that took us to the caves (Dean?) drove recklessly. The weather was off and on raining and the roads winding. Heavy braking and taking turns like he’s on rails. Forget speed limits. He didn’t use a mic to project and in the back we couldn’t hear the few words he said. He admittedly told us at the onset that he was a man of few words. He was likable and I enjoyed meeting him and hearing his stories at lunch and lunch was amazing. One of the best I’ve had on this trip. Skip the kiwi house - not worth the stop. Barely saw anything due to the nocturnal nature of the inhabitants. I would recommend the caves 100% - worth it. Was relieved when the 2.7 hour drive back was over and I arrived at hotel
