We have just returned from a Waitomo caves tour in NZ. We found this tour from the website and it cater for a small group of 6 to 12 persons. TheTours agency is Spellbound and the 3 1/2 hours tour is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. It was very lovely and we love every minute... more

We were recommended Spelbound by the Waitomo Guest Lodge. The Spellbound base is across the road from the guest lodge. We were taken in a small group (9) by tour leader Norm and shown around the caves and cave area. Norm is a great guide - his knowledge is amazing and he communicates well at all levels. His passion for... more

Norm, our guide, drove, my wife, mother-in-law and I, 15 minutes from the Spellbound office to the glow worm cave. We walked the last 10 minutes down the hillside in the rain and were handed our helmets and lights by Norm our guide. Victoria (only 8 years old) led us into the cave after Norm told us to mind the... more

I would highly recommend the Spellbound Glowworm Cave Tour. It is very well run, good safety equipment and our guide was quite knowledgable. The entire experience was enjoyable. Where else in the world will you see a virtual Milky Way of glowworm lights. The three hours zipped by and we were sad to see the tour end. Don't miss this... more

I would just like to take this opportunity to say what an amazing tour this was. It was everything the website said it would be and more. The glowworms were just amazing and everything was done very professionally. At no time did I feel unsafe. The commentary Lousie(our guide), gave was outstanding with just so much information about the worms... more

Right from the start, registering at the Waitomo Isite everything was great. The young lady referred us to a suitable overnight parking site for our motorhome and recommended the Ruakuri walk to do in area. This was very good, informative, interesting and attractive yet a relatively easy walk for 'pensioners'! We met people completing their black-water rafting excursion and other... more

I had set my heart on seeing the famous blue glowworms and I very nearly missed out due to time factor. However, I was able to include the visit to the Spellbound caves. The tour is aptly named and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Pete, was brilliant and gave the group ample time to soak up the atmosphere.... more

When in New Zealand do not miss out on the Spellbound Tour to see the glowworms at Waitomo. It's by far the best way to see the glowworms - friendly, informal, informative, small groups. Marvellous! more

I did a 3 week bike tour of the South Island and later added 2 weeks on the north island sightseeing with my wife. The Waitomo Spellboud tour was a high point of our north island trip. Not only was the attraction itself wonderful, our host Peter took great pains to educate and entertain our small group tour by explaining... more
