Last night we went on a canyoning trip with our guide Kevin(who also happens top be Dutch). It was a great experience. Good guidance and a lot of information during the trip. A little tea break with the magnificent sight of couple of hundred glowworms. An absolute must do If you are near Raglan.

Loved this tour!

This was an awesome tour! Our tour guide Damien was filled with amazing stories and facts about New Zealand, he was the best! It was great to be able to have both tours in one trip, since they aren't far from each other. Hobbiton was so much fun, our tour guide had lots of fun facts and trivia about the movie set. It was great having the drink and buffet lunch (which was delicious) included! Waitomo caves was fascinating to see and is something I will never forget. It's sad that you can't take pictures in the caves though. I would definitely recommend this tour, it was my favorite from my trip!

The Gray Line Tour was wonderful from start to finish. The staff was extremely helpful meeting us at the City Station and getting us on the right bus for the tour . The bus driver Brian was great and told us lots about NZ history in an entertaining manner! He was kind and helpful with lots of good tour tips! Going to Hobbiton was wonderful and a tour I wouldn’t miss! The lunch was great with lots of good choices! Waitomo Caves was another must do tour! The tour was extremely organized . The bus was very comfortable and enroute to the tour sites you see the wonderful NZ country side! Thank you Brian and Grey Line Tours!

Great start to our NZ trip! We enjoyed our bus trip and the amazing views. Bus seats were comfortable. Hobbiton tour was superb, would have been better if the tour was longer. Try getting the one with the lunch buffet, everything on their buffet spread was really good! Would have eaten more if I can but 1 serving of everything was quite filling. The Waitomo caves are a bit of a let down maybe because the Hobbiton tour was perfect. On our way back, our guide even suggested to have some ice cream and buy some souvenirs. We really enjoyed the witty comments of our tour guide/driver, highly recommended!

Hobbiton was so magical, and the lunch Buffett was the cherry on top! We loved the bus driver, she was very fun & informative. We learned a lot at the caves and had a good time. You walk through them and end on a ~5 minute boat ride in the dark to see the glow worms. I recommend this tour!

Picked up at sky tower by Damien our driver, bus is super comfortable and got water and a cookie for the trip. Damien was fantastic, spoke for ages about the history of New Zealand and really held my attention even at 7am, very interesting stories and information he gave us which was better than the usual of a tour guide. Hobbit set was so beautiful, I've never seen LOTR but could still appreciate it. Our guide here was Izzy, she was lovely, so friendly and again so knowledgeable about the whole set and all the movies. The lunch here was brilliant, such a range of food and well organised. Also the free cider was so tasty, could have had more than one! On to the Waitomo Caves where we seen the glow worms, this tour was so cool. Somethinh very different, the limestone caves were amazing and the boat tour through the glow worms cave was a surreal experience. All staff here were super friendly. Overall such an amazing day out, worth every penny!

Hobbiton is a magical awesome place, wish we could stay longer there. The lunch was great, the complimentary beer as well (we tried ale and stout, both excellent). They keep the place looking super authentic. Our guide on the bus drive to there gave us various curious details about NZ and the local nature, people, industry, etc., it was really useful. Waitomo cave then was also magnificent magical place, better they dont allow photos inside, as it would ruin the emotion and experience. Lovely place, would recommend it, as well as the whole tour in general!

Brilliant but too fast-paced at Hobbiton

Driver Luis – knowledgeable, helpful & explained facts & sights along the drive. HOBBITON Arrived at Shire’s Rest where tickets, gift shop & café are. Walked with knowledgeable guide Bee. Enchanting layout designed to be true to the book. Green Dragon Inn tavern was great, apple cider drink most welcoming as was travelling companion’s ale. Lunch at marquee was delicious. Luis arranged a stop at gift shop – a BIG CHEER for him as people do want the buying experience. WAITOMO CAVE Guide Trev knowledgeable, welcoming & engaging. Fabulous formations of cave, river & glow worms. Have family photo taken which will be made into photobook ready to buy at tour end.

Really enjoyed it, Hobbiton is so well kept and the beer or cider in the Green Dragon Inn is a great plus. The meal was way better than I expected, with tasty food, all you can eat and good desserts. The Waitomo caves were even better! Exceeded my expectations, it's a truly overwhelming experience that took my breath away with its beauty. Only drawbacks of the trip were the time spent on each location. It wasn't too short but with such great sights I could've stayed for hours. Also the bus had faulty air conditioning and the driver's microphone went out so he had to shout and I missed something of his explanation. Last the traffic back was heavy, but overall I truly recommend it!

An excellent adventure from start to finish. Nick made us very welcome at check-in and ramped up our excitement. Then we set off with the friendly Joel who was super safety conscious but still maintained the fun and excitement. We abseiled down waterfalls, crawled through gaps we thought we'd never get through, rocked climbed and saw wonderous natural formations, and of course glowworms. Joel was very knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer and gave us so much interesting information on everything! Would definitely recommend, and would love to return another day for more adventures.

Best activity in New Zealand

We spent 3 weeks in North and South island and this was the best activity we did. A small group of just 2 of us got the chance to squeeze through tiny gaps and duck underwater to get through certain places all whilst being in an environment covered in glow worms. It was an excellent mix of scenic and scary. We had Chan and Luke guiding us and they even let us do extra challenges again because we enjoyed them so much. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
