最棒的螢火蟲洞導覽行程！
深入地底兩千公尺的步道，滿天星斗的螢火蟲，保存完整的鐘乳石，加上專業導覽員的詳盡解說，最後再奉上一壺清香的毛利草藥茶，強力推薦！還有百年前地道探險的用品展示，如燭檯和老式鎂光燈。只是老人和幼兒不太適合此行程，因為深入地道的樓梯有兩百多階，而且有點陡。還有地道裡非常的暗，雖然地上有導引燈，但非常微弱。不過還是強推此行程，真正小徑通幽處的地道探險，比起坐船的那個人擠人好多了！還有這行程可以拍照喔！雖然不能開閃光燈，但我的Sony大光圈隨身相機還是拍到了繁星點點的螢火蟲！

需要搭接駁車到洞穴，走一小段樓梯後進去鐘乳石洞穴，會有英文導覽，螢火蟲聚集的地方會把燈全部關掉，可以好好欣賞，半價的話蠻推薦的

物有所值的行程
半價的話真的很值得推薦，雖然螢火蟲不是非常多，但可以拍照跟近距離觀看，感覺不錯。

Amazing!
What an amazing tour. We were picked up by Ross who gave us a wonderfully intimate tour of their caves. An up close experience of these amazing insects. Tea in the bush to end with. Thoroughly recommend this tour. Not commercialised AND you can take photos!

A very worthy journey!
電話連絡做再確認以及現場報到時的staff是此次紐西蘭旅行中講話最慢最溫柔最清楚的，旅程開始後負責解說的領隊也分享不少豐富多元的資訊，讓遊客可以感覺到他們是真心想兼顧環境保護與觀光。洞內很貼心的使用了照明足夠但亮度溫和，而且可以配合領隊開關的光源，讓人可以在被保護的環境中充份感受到生物與鐘乳石之美。離開洞穴後還可以在整理得小巧精製的半室外區喝杯熱熱的毛利特有植物茶，整個行程讓人感覺很精緻貼心，搭上Bookme的折價優惠可說物超所值。
