The Spellbound tour was a most enjoyable way of spending an afternoon. Our guide, Norm, was very knowledgeable and entertaining with a really good sense of humour. The tour departs from Waitomo Caves Village and after a short mini-bus ride (during which Norm gave background information and everyone said where they were from) we arrived at our first cave. Helmets... more

I have joined this tour in my recent trip to Waitomo, they are all amazing, the guide, the staffs, the glowworms and the caves. Its a small group of 12, so it make things easier to get together. Norm, our guide is very friendly and he is a great guide, with a lot of information to share with us. He... more

Just been on a trip with Spellbound to the Glowworm cave and the dry cave with stalagtites. There was only a small group of us that day which made it really friendly. First we took a minibus trip along the local roads with plenty of info about what we were seeing. A walk down a twisting path to the entrance... more

We booked this tour due to Tripadvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. Our guide, Norm was so enthusiastic and immediately brought the group together through light banter. The experience in the caves was magical and we were very well looked after throughout. more

We have just recently had the pleasure of going on this great tour. Firstly I should state I normally don't like tours but this tour is not a tour it is an experience. The trip in the van from Spellbound Headquarters to the caves, the light banter, the interesting information provided by Norm, our guide, and the wonderful Waitomo glowworms... more

We loved the fact that the caves were't spoilt by hundreds of tourists. The guide was great and the group small. The caves,2 of them presented in an unspoilt manner. Would highly recomend more

Absolutely wonderful experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The glow worms were magical and it was great to be able to see actual glow worms close up. The caves were interesting and contained a few surprises. Our guide kept us well informed and answered all our questions in a way that was easy to understand. The small numbers on... more

Myself and two daughters (11 and 13) recently took a 3 hour tour with this operator. There was also a visitor from the Uk on the tour, so a small group. Peter was our guide, he knew the area very well and was full of interesting info about the area, the caves, insects, plants etc. The tour consisted of a... more

We have just returned from a Waitomo caves tour in NZ. We found this tour from the website and it cater for a small group of 6 to 12 persons. TheTours agency is Spellbound and the 3 1/2 hours tour is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. It was very lovely and we love every minute... more

We were recommended Spelbound by the Waitomo Guest Lodge. The Spellbound base is across the road from the guest lodge. We were taken in a small group (9) by tour leader Norm and shown around the caves and cave area. Norm is a great guide - his knowledge is amazing and he communicates well at all levels. His passion for... more
