2025 Award Winning: Auckland City Highlights Half Day Tour

Bruce_G, Apr 2026

Great way to see the sites of Auckland

This was an intimate tour with just five guests in a small, very comfortable van. Sean, our tour guide, was warm, friendly, informative and extremely helpful. We got to see many of the sites of interest around Auckland in a relaxing and enjoyable way. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting this City.

Awesome tour of New Zealand

We had a awesome experience! The designs of the Hobbit homes was amazing. I felt like I was in a real village. Also, our tour guide was fantastic taking us around to the glow worm cave and Hobbit set. Matt was great I would definitely recommend him as your tour guide.

From Auckland: Spellbound, Waitomo Glowworm Cave Small Group Tour

Phillip_C, Apr 2026

Amazing views, above ground and below.

Fantastic experience. From Aaron's picking us up and sharing so much along the way, including when we stopped for coffee and a bathroom break, to Spellbound's Peter guiding us through the caves and sharing so much detailed information about the worms, how to take good pictures, and more. We got picked up at 7:45, and were back by 5:30, so it is a long day, but very well done in every aspect. There was water and snacks on the bus out there, a stop between caves for coffee or tea and cookies, and then a stop to walk around and get some lunch or fruit at the fruit stand, all with bathroom stops at the same time as well. All went well, never felt like we were somewhere too long or too short. The only thing I guess could serve as a warning is that the 11 passenger bus is ok, but the seats are fairly small, so if you are large in stature, you will be uncomfortable, but not terribly so. With driving that much, it could have been worse, and the views out the big windows were great.

Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland

Hobbiton and the glow worm caves

Wonderful experience even though the morning consisted of pouring down rain. The rain finally eased when we arrived at Hobbiton. It is beautiful and magical. We then had an ale at the Green Dragon pub and went to see the glow worm caves. It also is amazing. We made the drive back to Auckland but stopped for some Hokey Pokey ice cream. Excellent day and there were plenty of bathroom stops. Our driver/guide was named Warren and he is excellent.

Ronny_E, Apr 2026

Excellent Tour

The tour was a full day but well worth it. We had enough rest stops and good food stops. The glow worms and Maui cultural area tours were both excellent. Our guide, Dave, was excellent. He addressed everyone’s needs and provided all with information relative to our excursions.

Hobbiton Movie Set Small Group Tour from Auckland

Mark_I, Apr 2026

Incredible experience made special by our tour guide Jeoff!

The Hobbiton visit and experience was amazing. It was awe-inspiring to see where they filmed one of the best movies ever made. But our tour guide, Jeoff, made it extra special. He was nice and kind and gave us tons of insight about New Zealand and gave us recommendations on what places to visit. He came prepared with snacks and water and made sure everyone was comfortable during the ride. He also accommodated anyone that needed to use the restroom and even made a pit stop for ice cream on the way home, which was icing on the cake. Highly recommend using Cheeky Kiwi for this tour or any other tour in New Zealand!

Afternoon Piha Beach and Rainforest Tour from Auckland

Bruce_B, Apr 2026

Fabulous tour out of the CBD, with s superlative guide and driver team. Educational and Stimulating with wonderful sites

A great chance to experience the areas outside of the central business district, which make up the awesome beauty, uniqueness of Auckland and the north Island. The Guide and Driver both knew their stuff and we’re willing to share it personally. It seemed like they truly cared and knew each of us in the bus for the day. A very well planned, and thought out to her, which I highly recommend!

Auckland Dolphin and Whale Watching Eco-Safari Cruise

Bradley_C, Mar 2026

Dolhpins by the dozen

A perfect day on a very good boat for watching sea life. The guides were all degreed in dolphins etc and used the tour to gather scientific data on what we saw. Following bird signs in the huge bay, we found two huge pods of dolphins who played for us in the bow pressure wave in clear waters. They estimated one pod at 80 including a baby and we had easily a dozen playing right under our feet in the twin bows of the catamaran. In between sightings were video lectures on what we were seeing and the scientific studies in the bay. For those who wanted a snack, the galley had a variety of foods. Viewing indoors and out had the weather not been so beautiful.

Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with lunch from Auckland

Marie_d, Feb 2026

What an adventure

The drive from Aukland to the Hobbiton Movie Set is about 2 and half hours. You will have an opportunity to buy Souvenirs at the beginning .. get them while you can because you don't come back to the souvenir shop. You get back on the bus and drive to the Shire where you are guided by an expert employed by the Hobbiton Movie Set. Your tour is strictly timed as they are trying to put 2500 people through in a day and not have everyone tripping over each other or getting in each other's way. It is an absolutely amazing experience and as long as everyone is cooperative, it will go smoothly. Each group is about 46 people. There's so much to see .. and there's a lot of hills. It is not for wheelchairs, not for anyone using a walker, or have mobility issues.
