Reviews: Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-06-26
This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!

The whole family had the most amazing day with Murray visiting thr Hobbiton village and the Glow worm caves. Murray was extremely knowledgeable and explained things and places with great detail. Bush and Beach are lucky to have him. He made sure we had a great time in the bus, while we stopped for a coffee break, at the movie set and the caves. And all through the drive as well.

David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.

Sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate, so was it wet? Yes. Was it cold? Also yes. Was it atmospheric AF to drift in the river in the dark while the bioluminescent worms shine around you like a constellations of stars so close it feel you can touch them? Heck yeah. It was part planetarium, part Pandora in Avatar views in the dark with the blue lights of the glow worms twinkling around us. Even if it was cold and wet and hard to paddle in the wind (we really got unlucky with the weather there for a bit) how often can you say you’ve kayaked around black swans in a river over what used to be a giant hydropower damn? Do it. It’s pretty cool. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and kept us safe and have clear instructions and gave plenty of facts of those nerdy-inclined.

The arrangements were excellent. I absolutely love traveling, and entering Bilbo's house was a fantastic experience.
