What are people saying about Auckland

Sofia_B, Jun 2026

New Zealand vacation

This was a really awesome experience. We saw multiple dolphin pods including baby dolphins swimming with their mother. There were also lots of cormorants feeding on the fish that the dolphins had boxed in. The vessel was very nice and comfortable. Warning: you may get sea sick however the crew are very good at handling this situation. They gave us ginger candy and that actually worked well. They also have bags in case you get sick. Lucky the ginger candy worked but it was a close call for me. Note to self: don’t eat a big breakfast prior to getting on the safari cruise.

Gem of a tour as not all...

Gem of a tour as not all tours will stop by the blue springs and Redwood Forrest in addition to the main attraction in Rotorua. Blue Spring ended up being my favorite part of the tour Actually as it was gorgeous seeing the long green plants flowing in the clear blue water. When I showed pictures to my friend he said it looked like AI because of how unreal it looked lol.

From Auckland: Spellbound, Waitomo Glowworm Cave Small Group Tour

Julie_B, Jun 2026

THE Glowworm Cave tour to take!

This tour goes to Spellbound Glowworm Caves for a 2 1/2 hour tour that includes the glowworm cave and a second cave. You spend a lengthy time experiencing the glowworms. The second cave has a fascinating history. This is not a flashy, touristy destination, rather it is a beautiful experience with genuine people. Our driver, Wayne, was fantastic - pointing out sites along the long drive. We stopped for coffee at a bakery in the morning and in a small town for a bite after the caves. This tour by this company is well worth the drive. The landscape views alone are amazingly beautiful.

Best tour guide- Liam!!

Liam was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide who was very personable and fun! Not only did he give us a mini tour and history lesson of the city but he made an excel sheet that was color coded by district of the city with his favorite near by restaurants and experiences! Any questions we had he answered and his conversation was very easy going and he was able to get everyone on our trip talking and connected with each other even though we were from all over the world. Thank you Liam!

Bus tour guide, caves...

Bus tour guide, caves tour guide and Hobbiton tour guide were all great! Trip went smoothly and left and returned on time/early. Great itinerary glad we got to see both Waitomo and Hobbiton in one day as we were only here for a weekend. Included lunch was good too included a side and dessert. Bus was comfy and had wifi.

Taste of Waiheke Food and Wine Tour

Erin_O, Jun 2026

A Delicious Day

It was great (easy!) way to get out of Auckland for the day, especially as a solo traveler! Waiheke is a beautiful island, and this tour helps you to experience it easily. We had a delicious olive oil tasting, an incredible lunch, and 2 wine tastings, all surrounded by the beautiful views of the island. (Our tour guide Simon was fantastic - a local with lots of fun facts and helpful information!)

Pickup was on time and the driver (Ark) was incredibly friendly and well informed about local landmarks and history. We got there with plenty of time to browse the gift shop and have lunch before the tour started and enjoyed a scenic drive on the way back which also arrived with no delays. Overall a fantastic experience.

Amazing experience, extremely organized. The bus driver was great and gave us a lot of good and helpful information. All the staff at Hobbiton made the tour really enjoyable. The lunch was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, whether they are a Lord of the Rings fan or not.

Very quick day, but full of so much! I chose the Te Puia side trip, and was really happy with the balance of the day! I wish we had an extra hour or so to swing by the redwoods too, but the tour was well organized (long drive tho!) and got to see lots of cool things in one day!

Cathedral Cove & Hot Water Beach with Lunch from Auckland

Tracy_V, May 2026

A nice mix of good exercise and relaxing

Expedigo is the tour provider and they were great. They communicated well before pickup, during the trip, and after the trip. Our guide was nice and helpful. We had a nice, long walk to the beach and then took the boat back. So glad the boat option (separate fee) was available because not sure if we would have been able to walk back. The sceneries were just as spectacular as in photos.

Leigh_J, Apr 2026

Would recommend 10/10!

This exceeded expectations! Pickup was smooth, Simon was a fantastic guide who really made sure to get to know each of us and made the tours so fun. Also, I didn't realize that lunch was included in the tour, and usually, when you get a lunch on a guided tour, it's pretty sh*t- but this definitely wasn't! The food was fantastic, and the tour experience overall was wonderful.
