Both myself and my friend had a wonderful morning at the forest and the Glow Worm cave. Our guide was informative and happy to answer our questions and I particularly enjoyed our visit to Friedensreich Hundertwasser toilet ,the artwork was delightful and I was so happy to have the chance to see it.

Loved Ken!
Ken was delightful, very personable. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Mauri and NZ history. There were only 3 of us and he gave us a very personalized tour, answering all of our questions. Would recommend highly.

Great morning trip
We took this tour as a group of 6, Including 2 teenagers. Our guide Ken was really helpful, gave us a lot of good info about the attractions. The forest walk is a short hike but is very peaceful and we loved seeing the kauri trees. The glowworms were really interesting and good fun.

Toller Ausflug, einzigartiges Erlebnis.
Wir kamen mit den Kreuzfahrtschiff an, haben wir vorab online gebucht, hat alles super geklappt, die Glühwurmhöhle ist der Hammer. Würde ich noch einmal machen!
