Review of CamJet’s one-hour Waikato River cruise near Cambridge, with gorge views, waterfalls, wildlife, jet boat spins, price tips, and FAQs.

“Nous n'étions qu'entre nous on a trouvé ça génial on a expliqué que nous parlions peu anglais donc si il parlait doucement ça irait.il en a clairement rien eu à faire il a déballé son speech sans adapter et était concentré sur ce qu'il allait pouvoir nous vendre.gants de protection.. etc....ils ne fournissent que le gilet de sauvetage. Et il passe son temps à régler la go pro pour prendre des photos et essayer de les vendre.un peu déçu de l attraction qui n'est pas très écologique”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 10 reviews · 13 hours · from $508Top rated

Review of a 13-hour Auckland tour combining Hobbiton, Waitomo glowworm caves, and Blue Springs, with small-group pickup and practical tips.

“It was one of the best days! A very nice guide, Naomi, picked me up from the hotel and the trip started. The trip was very fast due to a nice conversation throughout the way. The glowworm cave WAITOMO is the wonder of nature! I have never seen smth similar in my life, so impressive. The blue springs is also an unforgettable place, very beautiful and calm. To visit the Hobbiton was my dream for a long time and it finally came true. I am so happy! Thank you Sunny tour for such a nice organisation.”
