Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Chris_H, Apr 2026

Great Tour - you should do this.

The trip starts in Auckland and takes a 2 hour drive south through the beautiful farmland of the north island. You will either go to the caves or to Hobbitown. Our tour went to the caves first which I think might have been better. The caves were an awesome site. The tour was interesting, something I've never seen before. After the caves we drove for about 2 hours to Hobbitown, had a bite to eat (included with the trip) and had a2 hour tour through the movie set. Sam was our guide at the movie set, who was really engaged and truly seemed to love what he was doing. It is interactive, so ask questions. The attention to detail is spot on. The tour is a walking tour. It is up and down hills and tough for folks that have mobility issues. If you are in a wheelchair this isn't for you. After the tour there was a 2 hour drive back to Auckland. Mike was our driver and guide through the day. He was very nice, provided excellent info through the day, kept us all on track and on time. Can't say enough good things about Mike, a true professional. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Even if you aren't a Lord of the Rings fan.

Robert_B, Apr 2026

Amazing tour!!!!

This tour by far blew away my expectations and it was 100% thanks to the tour operator Danny!!! He was by far the best tour driver/ operator that I have ever experienced. He made the long drive fun by playing games, music trivia, sharing the best facts on New Zealand, and the culture. I am looking at doing another tour with Cheeky Kiwi and it is all thanks to Danny!

Milford Sound Coach and Cruise tour from Queenstown

Michael_B, Apr 2026

Great except for feeling a bit rushed at times, but well worth the cost!

The entire drive/cruise tour was absolutely epic! The bus was comfortable enough and the glass roof was very nice for feeling really immersed in the wonder of the scenery we were driving through. The one semi-downer was that the bus driver, while friendly, knowledgeable&a safe driver, mentioned more than once that "we" were behind the time curve for New Zealand driver labor laws, which felt a bit like pressure to rush through every stop. He mentioned it again when we transferred to the cruise portion, asking us to be sure to be on time to meet him afterwards even though we had no control over the cruise boat's schedule. This also included not being able to make a bathroom or even leg-stretch stop on the return trip until we were almost back in Queenstown anyway, which was puzzling. There was a bathroom on the bus, but the driver never mentioned if it was unlocked or not. He also said that only one of the several bus cleaners would be able to make it to work that night and asked us to be sure to take all our trash with us. These are very minor quibbles of course, but it was consistent enough of a theme that the company might try to tweak their scheduling to avoid these problems. Otherwise, it was a great tour and very good value for the cost. Overall very enjoyable!

Waitomo Glowworm Caves Guided Tour

SHEKHAR_G, Apr 2026

An Underground Galaxy - Quiet, Mesmerising, and Truly Unforgettable

The experience at Waitomo Glowworm Caves is nothing short of magical - a true natural wonder that feels almost otherworldly. The guided tour is well-paced and informative, beginning with a walk through impressive limestone formations, where stalactites and stalagmites have formed over thousands of years. The guides share engaging stories and insights, adding depth and context without overwhelming the experience. The highlight, without question, is the silent boat ride through the glowworm grotto. As you drift quietly through the darkness, thousands of tiny bioluminescent lights above create the illusion of a star-filled night sky underground. The stillness and silence make the moment incredibly serene and almost surreal. What stands out most is how well-managed and respectful the experience is - preserving the delicate ecosystem while allowing visitors to fully appreciate its beauty. The no-photography rule in the grotto helps maintain that sense of presence and authenticity. Overall, it’s a beautifully curated experience that blends natural beauty, storytelling, and tranquillity. A must-do when visiting New Zealand, and one that leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve left the caves.

We added the minibus guided transport out of Te Anau to the boat on the Milford Sound. We got so much information on the mountains and ecology it was incredible.

Phenomenal-an incredible experience. We picked the Milford Sound twin hull, aluminium 3 level boat (described by my husband). We arrived early, for lots of reasons and the very early start did not disappoint. This was a once in a lifetime dream. I can’t begin to describe how amazing Milford Sound was - we loved the whole adventure!! Checkin experience excellent! Staff on the boat & captain were just fabulous & relaxed! Thank you heaps.
