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 ❤️ 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 😊.

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.

Incredible, unique tour with knowledgeable guide!
Such a great, combo experience. Mark as a guide was so warm and knowledgeable and made the whole day fun and seamless. Was great to get two one of a kind experiences in one day and the early morning was worth it when we were at hobbiton ahead of the crowds. Included lunch was at a cafe with a whole ton of options. Truly top notch and would book again!

Just nice for a day trip
Thanks to Simon’s our guide & driver. Lunch was good but a little too big for my wife & me to finish it.

Fantastic day with Simon our guide,amazing scenery and two great attractions, Waitomo caves are something else!!
An amazing day, comfortable bus journey through some amazing scenery. Hobiton was great as was the Waitomo Caves. The included lunch was great with plenty to choose from the menu. Thanks Simon for a great day out

Having a real guide made a real difference
The early start was offset by the anticipation of the day, and enhanced by our guide, Mark. He was very informative about our destination, about life in NZ in general and the route we took. Hobbiton was a delight, rolling hills and huge attention to detail. Lunch was not in your usual tourist trap, but a real native restaurant with decent food. The caves were a revelation and enjoyable - just too short !. Overall a great day seeing some unique NZ sights. thanks to Mark for his energy and solid content.

Great job!
Cheeky Michael did a great job keeping us entertained, stopping the van occasionally to stretch our legs. We learned a lot of Kiwi-ana too!

Great day.... Amazing tour.
I was totally blow away with the whole tour. It exceeded my expectations. Ark was a wonderful guide/driver. He genuinely was glad to be there and was so personable and efficient. He took every effort to make his guests comfortable and made sure to make the long drive pleasant and memorable. He had us where we needed to be on time and in front of line. He gave tips on how to make the most of each moment. He made sure a every person in his group had a wonder experience. Hobbiton was magical. The shire was a dream setting. Waitomo was so cool. The day could not have gone better. Thanks Ark.

Wonderul driver and guide Hanoz
Our guide and driver Hanoz has been absolutely wonderful and amazing and also recommended us places to go and rat before the tour ends. High recommended! However, personally I wish we were given more time inside the hobbit house by the hobbiton crew as we didn’t had enough time to go through all the rooms or take photos. But overall I want to commend Hanoz for taking us on this journey.
