What are people saying about Waitomo Caves

Must see visit to Hobbiton and Waitomo
We had a wonderful day with Clint. He was very knowledgeable about the tour and surrounding area. The visit to Hobbiton village was magical, just amazing! The glow worms at Waitomo caves were spectacular, never seen that before. A fair amount of driving was involved but it was nice to see so much of the countryside.

Can’t miss experience from Auckland
This is a great trip. I can’t recommend it enough. If you are a LOTR fan this is a no brainer, but even if you aren’t I believe you’ll be able to enjoy the experience. Adding on the Waitomo Caves is a great experience to add onto the journey. I also have to say that our guide Liam was excellent and made the drive fun.

Great value and will do the longer adventure next time!
Great fun and good safety focus! The guides were well trained and encouraging everyone, with good tips to stay warm in the dead of winter!

Worth the drive and time.
Even if you are not a Hobbit fan, this is worth seeing. The movie set and background information was really good. Being able to walk through an actual home was great. The glow worm cave was informative and different. I've been in many U.S. caves and this was different. Won't give any spoilers, but very interesting. The walk out showed more native foliage.
