I have been on this tour a couple of times now with kids from the extended family and friends. This time we had an older relative along too (the guide was extremely helpful - carrying a chair around - they are not as mobile as they once were - they will let you drive to nearer the cave mouth and avoid the 300 odd metre track, if mobility is a real issue). I enjoyed it the second time around just as much, but then, I quite like looking at rocks. I recommend for a little family excursion in the area, especially if you've never been in a limestone cave before.
We had a lovely experience at Milky Way. The guide was knowledgable, we felt safe the whole time, and the worms were glowing bright. It's a gentle walk up to the entrance, and the cave walk is super easy too. We didn't get mucky either. It's well worth the detour if you're in the area. We dropped in on our way to the airport, and the tour left precisely on time, so we kept on schedule for our flight. Thank you team!
We selected the add-on to go into the deeper cave, and this was a great choice, the normal cave was good and to be honest we would have been happy with this, but after seeing the deeper cave it was an added experience that was awesome.
Wonderful tour guide Oshay. Was very careful and made sure that every step of the way that all were being careful and looked after. We took our 10 month baby with us and it was fantastic :) Well looked after and then had some lovely recommendations for stops on our way back to Auckland.
Thanks for your review. we appreciate it. O'Shea is pleased you enjoyed your tour.
Very interesting and great for the kids
Thanks for your review.
Very informative and lots of glow worms in the cave! Best glow worm experience that we have had in New Zealand!
Thanks very much for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the tour and had the best glowworm experience.
A very impressive and memorable place, I highly recommend it. The caves are simply magnificent.
Thanks for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your tour.
My guide was so pleasant and knowledgeable. I was able to use night mode on my phone and get some interesting photos.
Thanks Alan, Pleased you enjoyed the tour.
Dont book with them. Worst experience ever, dont waste your time and money. Unhelpful and rude staff
You didn't come here. You're unethical rating something you have not been to. You booked our tour, but didn't show up. You are a 'No-Show'. When online searching and booking, a day before the tour, you didn't read our location/address. That is 'Speed-Booking' (not reading information and just making guesses and assumptions). After booking, you didn't read your booking confirmation email, another mistake. At that point you could have fixed it. Next day, you then drove to a location 5 hours away from us for the tour. That is your own fault. Once you realise the mistake you called my staff and got bitchy at them because of your mistake. A day later you then message us and I refuse your refund because we cannot resell those tickets in the past. You need to self reflect on your multiple mistakes and blame yourself. All the people who read the information when booking, show up for the tour. A very small number of people make the same mistake as you and an even smaller number blame us and get unpleasant with our staff, like you did. Our policy is to refuse all refunds over the phone, as some people start by blaming us for their mistakes. We are OK about rescheduling over the phone. But, if people want refunds we will only consider them when a message is in writing through Viator App. We normally offer polite people who make the same mistake a reschedule, some time in the next 2 months.
The glowworm caves were really beautiful and set in a wonderful area to explore. The staff were friendly and informative throughout. We had two young children with us, the pre-schooler did get slightly bored when we were letting our eyes acclimatise to the darkness but really enjoyed the experience overall. The toddler had great fun until initial lights out when she became slightly scared, but was easily reassured and overall still appeared to enjoy the experience.
thanks for you review. every child is different in the way react to the darkness and the talking in dark while looking at glowworms. the short tour you did is the only one we allow young kids on. The long tour we call Starburst Cathedral tour only allows 13 years up due to the longer time, twice the distance in to cave and the amount of information we give.
