4.00(1)
Private tour: exclusive to your group only.
Want to do something different? Take this awesome day trip to explore these deep underground glow worm caves that will take your breath away.
After an early start from the Port, we travel through New Zealand's best farmland, dairy farms, horse studs, & hydro dam - plenty to see on this trip!
As you descend into the world-famous cave you can only marvel at the thousands of tiny glow worms and the wondrous display as your boat glides silently along the subterranean river. In the dark of the cave, their radiant luminescent lights give the impression of an amazingly clear night sky full of stars.
On our return journey we stop at the The Shires Rest Cafe, Hobbiton for a delicious lunch. The Shire is located approx. two kilometers from the Hobbiton Village. This is where the cafe, toilets, booking office & wonderful gift shop are located.
Please note Waitomo Caves, approx. 2:hrs 15: min drive each way through wonderful picturesque country side.
