Reviews: 1-Day Tour to Waitomo Glowworm Caves & Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tours by Luxury Bus
Guest User2026-02-14
Excellent trout organization and very friendly staff. While it was a pity that the Waitomo Cave tour was canceled due to bad weather and flooding, the Hobbiton village experience was amazing.★

Reviews: Waitomo Caves & Rotorua - Te Puia Small-Group Tour from Auckland
Guest User2024-07-30
Such a great trip! Grant (or Grant but in a kiwi accent) was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the culture and history during the long van rides. Glowworm caves were cool but the highlight for me was definitely the geysers. The whole experience was great and am so grateful that they offer a trip like this including transport since Rotorua is quite a distance away.
Note: this experience did not include a Māori performance or haka. If I read the description better I wouldve known that but that is the only thing I was a little bummed about. The experience is great, but just note what is actually included if thats what you are looking for.★

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!★

Reviews: Auckland: Rotorua Māori Village & Waitomo Caves with Lunch
Guest User2025-03-19
This is a very good tour provided by Expedigo via GetYourGuide. They use newer and comfortable vehicles. The group size is really small (6 max). Our tour guide/driver, John is very friendly and shared his information throughout the journey. Highly recommend this Waitomo caves and the Māori village tour!!
