We have just recently had the pleasure of going on this great tour. Firstly I should state I normally don't like tours but this tour is not a tour it is an experience. The trip in the van from Spellbound Headquarters to the caves, the light banter, the interesting information provided by Norm, our guide, and the wonderful Waitomo glowworms... more

We loved the fact that the caves were't spoilt by hundreds of tourists. The guide was great and the group small. The caves,2 of them presented in an unspoilt manner. Would highly recomend more

Absolutely wonderful experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The glow worms were magical and it was great to be able to see actual glow worms close up. The caves were interesting and contained a few surprises. Our guide kept us well informed and answered all our questions in a way that was easy to understand. The small numbers on... more

Myself and two daughters (11 and 13) recently took a 3 hour tour with this operator. There was also a visitor from the Uk on the tour, so a small group. Peter was our guide, he knew the area very well and was full of interesting info about the area, the caves, insects, plants etc. The tour consisted of a... more

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
