10/10 experience!
We had a fantastic time with Jeoff from Cheeky Kiwi! He was absolutely amazing, so full of knowledge- answered any and all questions. Super impressive! He went the extra mile and we had a super time. The views were spectacular from beginning to end. And an added bonus was the lunch stop, it was absolutely delicious and on the house made it all more enjoyable đ Could not recommend this company more, definitely book with them and hopefully youâll be lucky enough to have Jeoff as your guide!!

Coastal adventure and beautiful nature
We had a great tour in Coromandel in a small fun group. The guide Trent the rock Star was super funny and showed us great spots as well as doing a good shop as a photographer. There were also small snacks and something to drink on the bus and enough breaks. Great coastal adventure and beautiful nature. Our highlight Cathendral Cove â¤ď¸ who wants to experience what and likes adventure should do this tour.

A great day on the Coromandel Peninsula
What a lovely day visiting the Coromandel Peninsula! Our guide Trent really went the extra mile to make our experience memorable. We were a small group so Trent took us on a couple of great walks to get the best photos of beaches and flora. We got to spend time at Cathedral Cove and a few other beaches. Trent is very knowledgeable on the Coromandel and also pointed out special nature reserves that are preserving the Kauri trees. We drove by bird reserves across from the peninsula and so much more. Trent was a wonderful guide and truly went out of his way to give us a special day with lots of memories and so many photos đ.

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 driverânot to energetic but not boring either.

Massive, fantastic Hobbiton and Gloworm day!
What an amazing day! Definitely the highlight of our honeymoon so far! Ale our guide was fantastic, full of interesting info on all things Kiwi! The entire trip was really smoothly done and no hassle with anything, door to door service was great. Loved being able to just enjoy everything as it was so well organised we didnât have to think of a thing! Lunch was huge and tasty! We have another cheeky kiwi tour booked for Friday and Iâm sure it will be great too!!

Amazing day out at Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves
A great day trip from Auckland. You donât need to be a Hobbiton fan to do this trip I have never watched the films and the set is absolutely amazing and thoroughly enjoyable for any age. The tour lasts around 2 hours and you are given plenty of time to take pictures the group sizes are around 20 people at Hobbiton so you donât feel over crowded. The lunch stop provided by Cheeky Kiwi was great and a huge menu choice to choose from there was definitely something for everyone here. Next stop Waitomo Caves to see the glow worms great experience if like us you have never seen them. A great tour provided by Cheeky Kiwi if I had one improvement it would be to make less pick ups and make some central points for people to meet but I get the attraction is probably hotel pick ups. Would highly recommend this company

An incredible experience not to be missed!
Thank you Hanoz for an amazing tour today. Wow! What an incredible experience. Thank you for all your tips & knowledge, not only of the tour destinations but of Auckland itself. We canât recommend this tour enough. Even if you arenât a big Lord of The Rings or Hobbit fan, you will still be in awe of it. Whilst it took a bit of time to get there, the scenery along the way was beautiful.

Fantastic and informative tour
Booking a tour was well worth the time and stress it saved when I had only a short time to spend in New Zealand - didn't have to worry about any logistics and got to focus fully on enjoying the experience. Both Hobbiton and the glowworm caves were incredible, and our tour guide Dave really enhanced the experience by providing us lots of extra information about the area and letting us know what to expect during the day. It was also a nice opportunity as a solo traveler to get to meet some other friendly folks.

Fantastic Hobbiton & Waitomo Glowworm Caves Tour!
We had an absolutely wonderful day on the Hobbiton & Waitomo Glowworm Caves Tour from Auckland, including lunch. Both Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves were amazing experiences and well worth visiting. A special mention goes to our driver and guide, Henoc, who made the whole trip even more enjoyable. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the day. Henoc provided interesting information along the way and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. The tour was very well organised, the lunch was enjoyable, and the combination of Hobbiton and the Glowworm Caves made for a perfect day trip from Auckland. Highly recommended! If you are visiting Auckland and want to experience two of New Zealandâs must-see attractions, this is a fantastic tour. And if you are lucky enough to have Henoc as your guide, youâre in for an even better experience!

It was a great experience for someone going on a solo trip for the 1st time
It was a great experience for someone going on a solo trip for the 1st time. The guide,Grant, was amazing and very knowledgeable. Besides the tour, the lunch selection was very good. Would definitely book with them again next time I come back.

Worth ever cent!
Best day trip Iâve had in ages! Loved it. Hobbiton is amazing, and being able to explore a hobbit hole just adds to the whole thing. The glow worms put on a great show for us in Waitomo too. Hanoz was brilliant - an excellent driver, informative and great company. Lots of little extras too.

Great Tour
Great tour! You do everything you could want at Hobbiton (the gift shop was a little lacking). The glowworms seem gimcky but it is totally worth it and very cool experience!! We had Grant who was full of knowledge and made the long day great (this is a very long day!!)
