Fantastic day. Travelling was comfortable and clean. Tour guide was friendly, supportive and very capable of communicating with people from different back grounds

Tata was great guide. Very professional and full of interesting information. The van was newer and comfortable. I wish we could have done more caves or the Abyss. The basic tour is too basic for such a long drive. Hobbiton is pretty amazing even for a non-Hobbitt friend.

Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback! We’re really happy to hear that Taka provided a professional and informative experience, and that you enjoyed the comfort of the vehicle. We appreciate your comments about the tour pace and cave options—this is valuable feedback and something we’ll continue to work on improving. It’s great to know that Hobbiton impressed even a non-Hobbit fan! We hope to welcome you again for a deeper cave adventure next time.

We had Take as our guide and he did a wonderful job. He was very personable, informative and interactive on the drives to Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton, and made the trip better.
The glow worms are amazing but it was Hobbiton that blew us away. We expected it to be a neat experience because it was a movie set but the meticulous details, amazing gardens, beautiful landscapes, and helpful guides made it a fantastic experience. And the food options at the cafe were excellent. Highly recommend this tour!

Dear Domonique,
Thank you for your great review.
There are many Waitomo & Hobbiton tours from Auckland , so we are truly delighted that you chose to recommend ours.
It is an honor to hear that our guide Take’s storytelling and knowledge enriched your journey.
Hobbiton is incredibly well-crafted, and the new tour that allows visitors to step inside the houses, available from December 2024, has been receiving great reviews.
If you visit New Zealand again, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
Kind Regards,
team Navi
