I would say this tour is good if you aren't in a rush and don't mind getting to know the people. Personally, we like to be left alone on tours and only listen to the guides. This is not to say it was a bad tour, Norm the guide is very knowledgable. However, it made us feel uncomfortable having to... more

We signed up for this tour after it was suggested to us by the i-site people in tauranga, and are we ever thankful to them. This was the way touring used to be: personalized, informative, and small in group size. We loved every minute of the trip....the guide was patient and informative, lured cave eels out of their rock hiding,... more

Pete was our guide and boy he knew his stuff (even helped us get to grips with our new camera!).

The size of the group and the knowledge and... more

The tour departs from Waitomo Caves Village and after a short mini-bus ride (during which Norm gave background information and everyone said where they were from) we arrived at our first cave. Helmets... more

I have joined this tour in my recent trip to Waitomo, they are all amazing, the guide, the staffs, the glowworms and the caves. Its a small group of 12, so it make things easier to get together. Norm, our guide is very friendly and he is a great guide, with a lot of information to share with us. He... more

Just been on a trip with Spellbound to the Glowworm cave and the dry cave with stalagtites. There was only a small group of us that day which made it really friendly. First we took a minibus trip along the local roads with plenty of info about what we were seeing. A walk down a twisting path to the entrance... more
