Reviews: Waitomo Caves & Rotorua - Te Puia Small-Group Tour from Auckland
Guest User2024-07-30
Such a great trip! Grant (or Grant but in a kiwi accent) was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the culture and history during the long van rides. Glowworm caves were cool but the highlight for me was definitely the geysers. The whole experience was great and am so grateful that they offer a trip like this including transport since Rotorua is quite a distance away.
Note: this experience did not include a Māori performance or haka. If I read the description better I wouldve known that but that is the only thing I was a little bummed about. The experience is great, but just note what is actually included if thats what you are looking for.★

Reviews: Auckland: Rotorua Māori Village & Waitomo Caves with Lunch
Guest User2025-03-19
This is a very good tour provided by Expedigo via GetYourGuide. They use newer and comfortable vehicles. The group size is really small (6 max). Our tour guide/driver, John is very friendly and shared his information throughout the journey. Highly recommend this Waitomo caves and the Māori village tour!!★

Reviews: From Auckland: Spellbound, Waitomo Glowworm Cave Small Group Tour
Guest User2024-10-02
The experience in Auckland was fantastic! Our guide was very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. He introduced each viewing spot as we passed through each town, like a lesson on the journey. Afterwards, we came on a Spellbound Fireflies and Cave Tour. The guide introduced us to the formation of stones and caves. The caves and fireflies were amazing! The sparkling fireflies created memorable memories for us. What a wonderful trip!
Great experience in Auckland! Our guide was so nice, caring and knowledgable. He introduced every viewpoint when we pass through each town. Just like having a lesson through the journey. After that, we arrived to the Spellbound glowworm & cave tours. The guide introduced the formation of stone and cave for us. Both of the cave and glowworm were stunning! The shinning glowworm created an unforgettable memories for us. What a nice trip!
