Great tour and amazing...
Great tour and amazing experience! It was an early day as there is quite a bit of driving but our guide stopped a couple of times and was attentive to what the group wanted. The Waitomo caves were so cool and a fun story and local guide. Te Puie was a great demonstration, geyser viewing and even got to see some kiwi birds. A long day but well worth it!!

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!

Exceeded expectations
One of the best experiences! I had no expectations just that my son has always wanted to see a cave since he was 2. Our tour guide was very friendly and funny, the history was very interesting. I would go back again. I left feeling cleansed and calm ☺️

Black water rafting
We had an amazing experience with Waitomo Black Water Rafting. Our three guides were fantastic—extremely supportive, professional, and always focused on ensuring our safety, especially during the more challenging sections of the course. Their calm and encouraging approach made the adventure both exciting and reassuring, as there were sections that were very slippery, uneven, and hard to climb. Highly recommend!

Great tours for everyone
Our driver/guide Tracey was great. She gave a lot of information about New Zealand along the whole ride to Hobbiton, kept everyone engaged. She even got us hobbit costumes to pose for photos at then end of Hobbiton tour. Our family had so much fun!

It was pretty fun,...
It was pretty fun, beautiful out there at Waitomo caves. I should’ve known the time would be used to teach people about the caves but it was really funny and fun to learn about. My only complaint was that I wish the caves experience was longer but great for a family.

An exceptional driver and guide
Long day but lots packed in for the traveller. When I travel for work I enjoy a high energy add on for a great memory.
Thanks Mike for looking after us! (And endorsing me as your co-pilot)

Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves
Everything about this tour, from pick up to drop off, was smooth and relaxed. The tour itself was amazing and combining it with Waitomo Caves made for a really special day. Hobbiton was everything and more than could have been hoped for. Buffet lunch was fantastic and enough variety to cater for most preferences. Would highly recommend.
