What are people saying about Auckland

Leland_V, Aug 2026

Caves, Kiwi and Blue Springs are a Spiritual Experience

The Glowworms Cave experience is one of beauty and reverence. Our guide was informative, respectful and spiritual. This is an experience not to be missed. The Kiwi Hose was quant, and enjoyable. Our Driver came along with us and gave some interesting facts bout the birds we saw. Finally the Blue Springs was a lovely experience of pure nature which capped the day nicely. Now, a word of caution - be sure to check with your tour company about pick up times. Know that you will have only 20 minutes for a breakfast take away after 2 hours of driving. The same can be said for the Lunch time - which came at 3:30pm on our excursion. The entire day was 11+ hours as advertised.

Auckland Dolphin and Whale Watching Eco-Safari Cruise

John_S, Aug 2026

Great time with the dolphins!

This was an amazing experience. We didn’t get to see any whales but there were many dolphins that arrived to say hello. Since we didn’t get to see any whales, they gave us a voucher for another time. We didn’t see any whales that time either, but it was still worth it. Just nice and relaxing being out on the water, and searching for signs of aquatic activity. My wife and I had a blast. We would highly recommend.

I had a fantastic time...

I had a fantastic time exploring Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves with guide and driver Mike! He had amazing energy and enthusiasm during the tour, and he did a great job keeping us on schedule while providing entertaining stories and fun facts, even going above and beyond to provide advice about our own travel plans. Hobbiton was so adorable and the glow worm caves were awe-inspiring. Highly recommend!

Auckland: Rotorua Tour with Waiotapu, Te Puia and Maori Haka

Molly_P, Jul 2026

100% highly recommend this tour

Jason was fun and friendly. He was very knowledgeable. Gave us pointers on where to stand for better video/photo ops, etc. The places we went were absolutely awesome. So glad I got to see it all in one day. Black swans, bubbling mud ponds, brilliant mineral lakes, Maori performance and tour of the school. Kiwi birds, geysers, and more. Had a wonderful time. The bus ride was long but 100% worth it.

From Auckland: Spellbound, Waitomo Glowworm Cave Small Group Tour

Danielle_B, Jul 2026

Incredible Experience!

In March, we went on a tour to the Waitomo Caves with David, and he did everything to make the trip memorable and comfortable. On the drive over, he entertained us with interesting stories of history and science. We also stopped at a bakery that was great. For the actual caves, a different guide took us through, and the glow worm cave was simply out of this world! What an incredible experience! I did a fair bit of research in choosing which location to see the glow worm caves, and I am so happy with this choice! On the way back, David took us to the Fat Kiwi, which was a delicious lunch spot. As a driver and tour guide, he made us feel safe and well cared for during the tour. I would highly recommend visiting such an incredible spot with this tour company!

Hobbiton & Rotorua including Waiotapu Day Tour from Auckland

Mark_J, Jun 2026

Had a magnificent day!...

Had a magnificent day! Our driver Grant was friendly, gave interesting information about various locations on our drive, and had humorous stories to tell. Hobbiton was surreal and incredible. We were free to be as nerdy as we wanted and were encouraged by our tour guide. The geothermal location was a fascinating and scientific experience, but the smell of the sulfur and other fumes in the water made us wish to return to the Shire. Overall a wonderful day, highly recommend overall!

Hobbiton & Caves Review

This tour was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, Ark, was absolutely incredible. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so many interesting insights throughout the day that made every stop even more meaningful. We especially appreciated all the little extras he provided, snacks, water, helpful tips for each tour, and even fun quizzes along the way that kept everyone engaged. The tours themselves were amazing, well organized, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each location without ever feeling rushed. The pace was perfect, and we learned so much along the way. Highly recommend this tour, and if you get Ark as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience!
