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!
