Sam_B, Oct 2026

Great tour from USA Texas

My wife and I booked the " Auckland to Waitomo Glowworms, Kiwi House & Blue Springs Day Tour" at the last minute and couldn't have been more happy with it. Jaime, our guide, was unbelievable.

Recommend this tour

We loved the whale watching experience. We saw a large Fn whale and a Minki whale( which uncharacteristically circled our boat! Crew and passengers were all very excited. The crew included 2 marine biologists who talked with us about marine life. It was a great experience

Leo driver was very good and tour guide in the cave was excellent

The pick up driver was very good and well prepared with snacks and drink and in telling us about Auckland’s history along the way. The tour guy in the cave was excellent in preparing us to every details thoroughly in explanations about the cave formation and the life of the glowing worms as well as with hot cocoa and coffee and cookies at the end of the tour. Strongly recommended.

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Jessica_O, Oct 2026

No music - bring headphones

The tour was good, our driver Rachel was the best. So easy to talk to, knowledgeable and fun to engage with. The destinations as expected, the food stop was great but I wish it was disclosed that the van doesn’t play music. It makes for an awkward time having to be in the van for hours, especially the early morning pick ups when no one is talking and everyone has fallen back to sleep, so all you can hear is deep breathing and snoring. I would suggest there be a disclosure notice and reminder for people to bring headphones to listen to their own music since the van isn’t allowed to play music.

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

Sydney_B, Oct 2026

Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend this tour of the North island!! Our guide Jason was friendly, knowledgeable, and quite witty which made the trip even better! The views are breathtaking and each stop is unique and adventurous. We had coffee and meat pies, walked through the geothermal park (a major highlight) and even learned about the Maōri culture at Te Puia. This tour accommodates everything and is well worth the cost!!

Amazing Hobbiton

It was a wonderful experience. The set is beautiful and the fact that it is an active sheep and cattle farm makes the experience more realistic hearing the sheep as you tour the set.

Both Waitomo and Hobbiton...

Both Waitomo and Hobbiton are must see locations. Great sights had their system down to a T to get the group around and keep on a time schedule. Our driver, Nikki did a lovely job giving us tons of information during the drive between sites.

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.

Hannah_B, Oct 2026

One Day: Two Once in a Lifetime Experiences

We had limited time in Auckland and this tour paired our love of LOTR with a snapshot of the beauty the North Island boasts. Our guide, Sam, was attentive, kind, and found the perfect balance between keeping us on schedule and allowing us to explore at our own pace. The Hobbiton gives you a lush look at the sets and countryside that you truly have to see to believe and recently they opened a Hobbit Hole that you can walk in and explore! The Glowworm cave is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! A little spooky and spiritual, but also an incredible way to take a slow moment to appreciate nature in all its glory. If you are a jet lagged traveler who wants a thorough exploration of some iconic North Island countryside and a taste of adventure in woods without all the hassle of driving—this is the tour for you! **Also, this tour group KNOWS what worries us anxious types and does an amazing job communicating timelines around bathroom breaks, drive times, shop times, and even lets you pre-pick your meals!

Hobbiton Movie Set Small Group Tour with Cheeky Kiwi Travel

Robyne_K, Sep 2026

Wow what a great day

We went with cheeky kiwi tours who proved to be excellent. We were on a short time frame but able to do this while our cruise ship was in port. Driver picked us up on time and dropped us off close to port at. 6.45pm plenty of time to make our boarding time. The whole bus ride in was entertaining as the driver pointed out lots of different places. At Hobbiton you are transported by the big green bus to the actual movie set. The set is in the middle of a working farm and we saw lots of lambs and sheep. The tour is a walking tour around all the houses. They have built a whole house do you can really explore and experience how it feels from the inside. We ended the tour at the inn where we had a cider. Would recommend this for all ages it was great fun even if you have never seen any of the movies. We had a little rain but umbrellas were provided.
