This day tour was one of the best day in my New Zealand trip! Hobbiton and glowworm cave were both really awesome and unforgettable experiences. Our guide was really fun and nice. Definately worth of the money!

Very pleasant trip to Hobbiton, bus ride from City to Hobbiton and Ruakuri's very informative and entertaining. The driver is very polite. Trip to Hobbiton is worth it! No hassles at all, and the buffet at the Green Dragon pub was great and something to look forward to as well. Ruakuri Cave tour was very enjoyable. Only downside was that we had to wait for a longer time for the bus taking us back to Auckland - and we are not even sure who we should look for or who we are waiting for if not for the lovely lady driver who was taking the other group to Rotorua. All in all, it was a great experience and must try tour while in auckland.

This was an incredible experience. Spelunking at it's finest. The tour guide Keith was really friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the caves. Even the walk from The Farmhouse down to the cave system was a ton of fun. I highly recommend you give this company a try.

I'd give it 6 stars if I could. For anyone wanting to learn the ancient art of the Blacksmith or just have a fun day and go home with something you've made and a great story to tell, this experience is well worth it. Rob is always willing to pass on his wealth of knowledge and experience. His enthusiasm for the craft is contagious and the full day experience is honestly not enough for any avid fan of crafting glowing hot metal. I could have spent a week there. Arja's authentic, home cooking was phenomenal and really added to the whole experience. You can't learn on an empty stomach. I will definitely be going back to Kowhai Forge.

Rob & Arja were very welcoming and the course was awesome. I did full day course so i was available to forge my own kitchenette knife i'm so grateful to have a knife i'll carry for all my carrer. I'll not forget to tanins Arja for the beautiful lunch. (And thank's again for the receipe!!!!) well if you want to spend a good day and learning some blacksmith that's definitly the place to be Cheers Seb

There are not many most do in Nz but this is definitely one. Just go for it. You wont doubt it. I did it with my father and we both enjoyed it really much. Together with the waitomo caves the two best things on the north island. It is just awesome, Rob is funny, friendly and knows and loves what he does. The food is good and so are the drinks. It came out that the knife in the end was just ,,Das Sahnehäubchen" as we would say in Germany. Hands down that's a 5/5 without any hesitation.

Set high in the hills this workshop is a great place to spend the morning. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. With no past experience we crafted a piece of artwork under Rob's skilled guidance. Enjoyed a scrumptious morning tea and left with a great sense of achievement. Even got to keep our prized creation! Amazing to see the skill and passion Rob has for blacksmithing Thanks Rob and family

This was such an awesome experience. Blacksmithing is SO HARD! But Rob makes it look so easy, bringing life into steel! So good.

We had rach as our guide - the experience was second to none - a real up close and personal experience with the gloworms !! The best thing I have done so far ! Thank you and cheers for the sexy pants

Could not fault this experience. We were looked after from the moment we stepped the door and loved the fact we were not rushed out the door after. Highly recommended

肉类可以在牛肉，鱼肉，鸡肉跟绿贝里选一种。沙拉甜点水果是自助的。性价比还不错，环境也很好，中午还会有大巴带旅行团来。位置很深，自驾过去还挺可以，没有车的话会比较不好过去。

Had an awesome time at Kiwi Cave - Black Water Rafting! My friend and I were slightly nervous at the beginning but our instructor/guide Tim made us feel safe and calm by cracking a few jokes. Through the experience, he was a great support person and helped me fight the current a couple of times. Overall a great experience and if you feel a bit nervous to give it a try remember that I did it (a person afraid of heights)! 😊

It was fun with friends. :) Instructor and our guide Kelly cool and fun !! Experience of natural wonders .. i.e. Glow worms and Amazing Caves. Abseiling and rock climbing was fun. Our Clothes and attire was the most funniest for the adventure though ;)

my daughter and I did the tubing caving adventure. so much fun ,some challenges for both of us but it really is another world. the gloworms were amazing especially as you drift along underneath them and the climbing, absailing and the squeeze were challenges for me but alot of fun. four hours is great value also, I would highly recommend it

Would recommend it to anyone who is up for a little adventure! The 27m abseiling was breathtaking! The guide was very friendly and informative! Thanks for this unforgettable experience!

Black water rafting on bucket list: tick. Cat was our guide and she was an absolute legend! Really knowledgeable, warm, friendly and welcoming! She also has the amazing skill of encouraging you but not making you feel silly if you have any fears. I would highly recommend this! The groups are a great size and a whole lot of fun will be had. Thank you Cat for such a fabulous time and adventure. I truly do treasure this memory and the fact that we didn't have to worry about taking photos, was awesome.

It was one of the best experiences I had in New Zealand! My friends and I were really lucky to find this deal on Bookme and spontaneously decided to go. Turns out there was no one else and we ended up having a private Tour with a great guide who showed us all of the hidden treasures, all the while keeping us entertained. The activities were diverse and time just flies by. The big Glowworm Cave is the most beautiful I've ever seen - and I have seen a few, and Nigel certainly knows his way around all the little cracks he had us crawl through! We had a great time, lots of fun and we even got fed ;) all in all a perfect day!

It was amazing day. Fabulous staff. Definitely recommend it to anyone who loves water, thrill and adventure.

Kiwi Cave Rafting did a great job giving us a thorough experience. Black Water Rafting, Caving, Abseiling, Rock climbing and Glow Worms. Highlight personally was the concentration of glow worms, best I've ever seen.

What a fabulous day we had, taken outside my comfort zone and ticking boxes. Our guide Harrie was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable and so safe. Had a blast. Thanks heaps.

My husband and i spent twelve days in nz. In both the south and the north island and we got to do alot but this experience didnt compare to anything else around not even in our own country. Best day ever, lovely guide, great company, good insights and warm soup.

This is an unforgettable experience, thanks for the guidance and teaching, she is a great leader. We participate in altitude plunge, wormhole exploration, Black river drifting , rock climbing, it is really interesting experience, let us have a good memory.

From start to finish, this experience was unforgettable. Most important, we laughed the whole day. Our guide Nigel was amazing, cheeky, fun, and highly experienced and knowledgeable. We learnt alot about the larvae and other creatures lurking in the darkness. We literally squeezed ourselves through caverns and rafted on tubes down a stream. Enjoyed hot tea and chocolate sitting under the glow of larvae which was just incredible. And got to abseil in and rock climb out of the cave. To finish up you get a warm cuppa soup and bread roll and hot shower after.

Was the best end to my holiday, abseiling, climbing walls, climbing through rocks, glow worms, tubing and the water wasnt that cold when the adrenalin is pumping. Great for anyone to do but adrenalin junkies might find it a bit light on. Rachel the guide was awesome!!

My travel mate and I had a fantastic time. I have not done the other caves or adventure companies, but I can't imagine them topping our guides! They were fun, humorous, very informative, without it being too guided and it allowed you to bring in the experience in silence for much of the floating. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking at work cave adventures!
