First, I have to say that our guide ‘Willie’ made all the difference. We had four couples total (none of us knew each other before the tour). We started out at the waterfall - now, truth be told, this was by far the least impressive part and honestly was pretty weak. After the waterfall we headed for the cave and the glowworms, which was totally cool! The glowworms were awesome - but not being able to take any photos was a negative. After the caves, we headed to the most photographed toilets in the world - they were actually pretty interesting, inside and out. Our last stop was at the Ōpua Forest Conservation Park for a hike. The scenery in the park was really great. Now - all that said, Willie made the difference. He was personable, funny and knowledgeable which took an average excursion and made it a good excursion. Without a really good guide, this excursion would be just okay.
Our guide Nicki was so smart and interesting. The van was comfortable and we enjoyed the small group size as we were coming off of a cruise ship

We really loved this tour! Even tough we were a small group it took place and everything was perfectly organized. Our guide Nikki was a true gem and made the tour funny and informative, caring for every group member. We really appreciated her warm nature and how she shared her knowledge and even insights into local life and culture! The waterfalls were really cool especially after the rain lately, the glow worm caves absolutely magical and the kauri forest relaxing and majestic! It's perfect to go around exploring and learning about many lovely places of this beautiful area while relaxing without driving yourself.
Glow worm cave was magnificent wonderful tour guides for whole tour, flexible for unusual heavy rain
Fantastic way to see just a wee bit of NZs natural beauty. Our tour guide, Willie, provided an insightful, interesting, informative and entertaining commentary throughout the tour. This tour had it all; glow worms, majestic forests, spectacular waterfalls and very unusual toilets! Highly recommend.
