Doing what: Waitomo Caves and Rotorua Day Trip from Auckland
a long drive. however the coach is very comfy so no problem at all. the driver is very good, non-stop commentary except on return journey when most people have gone to sleep.
the waitomo caves is spectacular, been to the glow worm cave in australlia good coast. the waitomo caves have a lot more glow worms, and the boat ride is awesome.
The farm is ok but is more of a show piece, not the authentic farm we expect. but ok, another experience.
the maori village is fun too. the hot spring jet is ok too.
the whole trip is very nicely organised.
The Rotorua area is worth for a longer stay with the hotels with spas, the cable car and luge ride down. next time will spend more time in that area.
will recommend for those who do not drive around NZ

This tour is great value for money! You visit Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, a maori museum (including dance performance), kiwi-bird sanctuary and a sheep farm (including shearing demo) all in 1 day. Food/drinks provided were delicious (covered me for breakfast/lunch/dinner). Driver had excellent commentary/driving skills.

This was an excellent tour. The day was very long, but we covered a lot of ground all of the stops were well done.
In particular, the Glow Worm caves were exceptional. At one point there were about 20 tourists in a boat in the dark cave and all of us were completely spellbound looking at the glow worms which resembled a night sky which was fully of constellations of stars.

A lot of time on the bus but this tour covered all the highlights of the New Zealand North island except wine tasting. Each of the stops was excellent. Highly recommend this bargain.

Loved this tour. It is a very long day but I highly recommend it for someone on a short stay in Auckland as I was. The caves were amazing and a must do. The time spent in Rotorua was a bit short as there is so much to do and see but it gives a an overall picture of the area and the local tour guide was very informative.

This was a great way to see this area of New Zealand. Our bus driver was excellent and seemed to know a lot about the area he was driving us to.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We were picked up half an hour after our schedule time, but apart from that, the tour was great. Bus driver was informative, and all places we visited welcomed us and were professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour at all.

Doing what: 5-Day New Zealand North and South Island Highlights Trip
Great tour with a well timed itinerary and wonderful local staff. Would have been useful to know of the names of the local places of accommodation or at least what type of rooms we were booked into as we could have made better use of the kitchenettes if we had known. It would also be helpful to have it stated clearly and upfront, that this is a self-guided tour with the occasional input from local operators. It was not a draw back for us, but certainly not expected when booking a "tour".

Doing what: Auckland to Rotorua via Waitomo Glowworm Caves One-Way Tour
Very suitable tour. The cave is exceptional. I come from Bulgaria where we have all kind of caves, but this small one with this lights in the dark - great experience. This tour is nice because you can stay for a night in Roturua.
