ロトルアからオークランドへの午後の送迎、ワイトモグローワーム

The only interesting part of this entire 7 hours trip was seeing glowing worms in the cave for about 15 minutes. Along the way, the driver only played driver’s role. It was a boring and time/money wasting event.

Great driver, glowworm caves are a fun, unique experience. Beautiful rolling hills most of the trip.

We were the only passengers so we pretty much had a private transfer with a stop at the caves! Our driver was excellent and helpful, the caves were awesome too. Had we had more time I’d prefer to do different caves but it was still worth it!

beautiful, fun and magical. there are stairs and it is a short time. I recommend it and have done it twice.

Great way to get to Auckland from Rotorua. Loved the glow worm caves. Many winding roads so take your motion sickness meds if you tend to get car sick.

The pick up and transfer from Rotorua was great. Chris was our driver and is knowledgeable and interesting. Kept us all on time and made a long trip very easy and fun. Waitomo Glow Worms were a little underwhelming, but still very cool and enjoyed the cave and history.

The guide was a wonderful young man who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Looking at the glow worms in the cave was like being out on an especially clear night and seeing the stars.

FlexiTours was our transportation between Auckland and Rotorua, and we stopped in Waitomo to do the black labyrinth rafting on the way. This activity was great, but not part of Flexi - Black Water Rafting Co was awesome. Flexi was essentially just the transportation between the cities and cave. Cars were super nice. However, if you’re a younger group, couple, or family looking to be efficient and make the most of the day, this is not for you. If you are fine waiting and being with a bunch of other tourists on entirely different schedules than you, then this is a good option. We waited for over 4 hours in the car as other groups finished up their other activities. Rather than grouping together people on the same schedule, we got stuck with people with entirely different itineraries. The rafting and glow worms were awesome (check out Black Water Rafting Co!), so we’re glad we did that, but this was a complete waste of time and way too expensive for what it was. When I brought this up to the customer service team, they made some excuse about how arranging transport around our itinerary (doing the rafting) was unaffordable for them. That is fine and fair, but they should have told us this ahead of time so we could have arranged a separate private transfer between locations, which would have been similarly priced. We only had 2 weeks in NZ so it was a bummer to lose an entire day because of this company.

This was a transfer to Auckland, a planned stop midway at the cave with glowworms. Worked out very well. Both timewise and interesting, as a break on a 3hr drive.

Driver was excellent - “Bunty” if I recall correctly. Very kind and knowledgeable with some fun stops along the way. The glow worm cave experience was just OK. It is not as exciting or interesting as I would have thought. It is a great way to transfer from Rotorua to Auckland, however, I would not venture to the caves on their own just for that.
