Full-Day Waitomo Caves and Kiwi House Tour from Auckland including Lunch
Auckland, New Zealand
Discover the top attractions of New Zealand’s North Island on this full-day Waitomo Caves and Kiwi House tour from Auckland. Travel along the banks of the Waikato River and visit the famous Waitomo Caves with a guide. Explore the caverns and limestone shafts on foot and by boat, and gaze over the millions of bright green glow worms you find. After lunch, visit the Kiwi House and learn of native New Zealand animal species including the kiwi and the tuatara. This 8-hour tour includes round-trip travel from your Auckland hotel.
Following an 8:30am pickup at your centrally located Auckland hotel, take a seat in your vehicle for the 2.5-hour drive south along the mighty Waikato River to the Waitomo Caves — widely considered among New Zealand’s most impressive natural attractions.
On arrival, enter the dark caves with your guide and admire the deep limestone shafts, impressive stalactites, and open caverns you find. During your 45-minute visit, travel on foot and by boat, and marvel at the millions of bright green glow worms clinking to the dank walls.
After lunch at a local cafe, continue onward to the Kiwi House in the small country town of Otorohanga. Here, gain insight into the life cycle and feeding habits of New Zealand’s famous national bird and see tuatara — prehistoric native New Zealand reptiles.
When your time at the Kiwi House comes to an end, return in comfort to your Auckland hotel to bring your tour to an end.
Our driver and guide Lorain and Ron where wonderful company provided us with much history and information about life in New Zeeland .They were relaxed and generous with their time and we appreciated it very much. They treated us for ice cream and introduced us to the Hocky Pocky flavor and for a short while we felt like locals._br/_ The trip was amazing interesting and well worth it.
