Stories worth sharing
Great solo experience with a fantastic guide
I joined the tour as a solo traveler and English is not my first language, but Ben made everything easy and enjoyable. He was very warm and enthusiastic, and he kept sharing interesting stories throughout the trip. There were nine people in our group, and everyone had a great time. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it.

Cheeky Kiwi are the way to go for a truly fun day out!
Where to start with this grear value tour. Sun; sea and seemingly endless fun! Ben our tour guide and driver set the tone for the day with his jovial, high sprited demeanor; even st 6.15am when he arrived at my hotel. What greeted us on a warm white sand beach after a two houe drive was like a scene from a movie. Well as Ben informed us, the stunning Cathederal Cove location was used in the film Narnia. Numerous photo captures and videos later we progressed onto the Hot Water sand each with bucket and spade in hand to dig our very own hot pool to la languish in only 20 to 30 metres in from the sea shore. Amazingly hot water gushes up from the sand after only digging a few feet. It's a fab communal activity and great for team/group bonding. Then one can go for a refeshing dip in the inviting ocean afterwards (Don't forget your swimwear) Overall this tour is truly the best way to spend the dsy if looking to book a tour and Cheeky Kiwi are the way to go for the all round fun experience. Highly recommended.

Great day out to the Coromandel Peninsula
Fabulous scenery, fun and knowledgeable guide, nice pace - it did not feel rushed at all. In terms of finding lunch during the lunch break, the Hahei ice crema and eatery is fine but not amazing.

5/5 experience
The van we rode in was perfect, not crowded, and with humongous leg room. Mark is an excellent tour guide and driver—not to energetic but not boring either.

A lovely day tour to Coromandel
Had a great time on this small group tour to the Coromandel Peninsula. Pearl was a fabulous guide, I especially appreciated the group text to keep us up to date on everything. The hike to Cathedral cove was a challenge, but beautiful and the hot water beach was crazy chaos. It was a long day that ended in ice cream with stunning nature in between.

Cathedral Cove trip - hot beach cool water
Amazing trip, thanks to the guides and the weather, were able to visit all the locations as planned. Huge thanks for our travel guides Jaime and Jayme (sorry if I spelt it wrong). Learnt so much about the history and fauna of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Breathtaking scenery experience with new found friends
This is an iconic tour and as a solo traveler I had the unexpected joy of meeting lots of great people! The tour guide even sang Christmas carols to our group we had such good vibes.

For fans of the Hobbiton and not!
Great tour to Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves. Cheeky Micheal was a great driver and guide. Picked up on time at our hotel. Stopped at a local cafe for brekkie can recommend the boysenberry sticky pudding. Hobbiton was so beautiful and really amazing to see where they filmed scenes from LOTR. So cool to walk through the hobbit homes that they have recently included. Lunch included which was good and big portions, thanks Thirsty Weta. Waitomo caves was beautiful. Recommend for those who don’t want to drive as quite some distance on the road with windy parts! Overall enjoyable day.

Awesome tour
Liam was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable and I left this tour learning so much about the history and culture. Hobbiton has always been on my bucket list and it was an amazing day. The glow worm cave was spectacular, it’s like you’re in a whole new galaxy, a different kind of stars. My last full day in New Zealand was well worth it with this tour.

A long day but worth it
We had an excellent tour to Hobbiton and then the Glowworm caves . Pick up from our hotel was on time and in a comfortable, air conditioned minibus. Our Guide , Matt was so entertaining and informative that the long journey to get to Hobbiton, through beautiful scenery, was enjoyable. Once there Matt arranged the tickets and our start time while we had coffee and a restroom opportunity! Also time for a second breakfast if wanted . The tour through Hobbiton was amazing and everything I hoped for . We even went in a hobbit hole . Lots of photo opportunities. The attention to detail is incredible. That part of the tour finished with a beer ( soft drink alternative available) at the Green Dragon Inn . Even my husband, not a fan of LOTR or Hobbits , enjoyed the beautiful scenery . Matt collected us from our Hobbiton Guide at the end of the tour and it was onwards and upwards to the Glowworm Caves . En route we stopped for typical New Zealand lunch at a local ‘ diner ‘ and had a super lunch . The Caves were beautiful and the boat ride through the Glowworms stunning . Our Māori Guide sang a Māori song in the pitch dark of the largest cave to demonstrate the acoustics . Very moving and a real experience. Then Matt took us back to our hotel . A 12 hour day with an early start but very worth it . Great day , great value for money .

It was an amazing experience! Visiting Hobbiton was a dream we had cherished since it was born, as big fans of Tolkien's saga and books. Sam was very kind and super helpful to everyone: thank you!!!

Wonderful day out
A great experience from start to finish. Picked up right on time. Ari, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. She successfully navigated early morning traffic and had us arriving in Hobbiton in plenty of time for our wonderful tour. She was great at pointing landmarks out and filling us in with Maori and New Zealand history. Lunch was excellent and the Waitomo Caves were cool. Definitely recommend this tour, even though it is a long day.

A must-do tour!
We loved our day exploring Hobbiton and the Waitomo Caves! Our tour guide Liam was exceptional; he was incredibly energetic, knowledgeable, and kind. Liam made sure everyone was comfortable throughout our long day together, and kept us on-time, well-fed, caffeinated, and happy (with even an ice cream break towards the end!) Hobbiton and the Waitomo Caves themselves were incredibly beautiful and globally unique places to visit. This tour is a must-do!
