Right from the start, registering at the Waitomo Isite everything was great. The young lady referred us to a suitable overnight parking site for our motorhome and recommended the Ruakuri walk to do in area. This was very good, informative, interesting and attractive yet a relatively easy walk for 'pensioners'! We met people completing their black-water rafting excursion and other... more

I had set my heart on seeing the famous blue glowworms and I very nearly missed out due to time factor. However, I was able to include the visit to the Spellbound caves. The tour is aptly named and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Pete, was brilliant and gave the group ample time to soak up the atmosphere.... more

When in New Zealand do not miss out on the Spellbound Tour to see the glowworms at Waitomo. It's by far the best way to see the glowworms - friendly, informal, informative, small groups. Marvellous! more

I did a 3 week bike tour of the South Island and later added 2 weeks on the north island sightseeing with my wife. The Waitomo Spellboud tour was a high point of our north island trip. Not only was the attraction itself wonderful, our host Peter took great pains to educate and entertain our small group tour by explaining... more

A really great guide with a wealth of local and caving knowledge. The only way to see the glow... more

When i first heard about visiting the Waitomo caves with the Glowworms, i was little interested. Never the less, we went to have a look to see what's this hype is all about. Belive me, this trip is marvalous!!!! You walk to the cave, get in and enter the complete darkness. And after a while your eyes gte used to... more

Spellbound does not have fancy advertisments in magazines , neither are their brochures as widely distributed as comapared to other operators . It was introduced to us by our Hostel desk manager . A bit sceptical in the beginning as it offers almost the same attractions but prices are lower , Our guide Pete , made good groundwork amongst our... more

We spent a day in Waitomo while we were touring the North Island in March 2008. Spellbound tours were recommended to us, and they certainly lived up to expectations. We met up with the group in the village. There were eleven of us plus the guide with ages ranging from ten to sixty-five. We left promptly in a minibus and... more
