5.00I normally don't write reviews, but this company went above and beyond. If you're yearning for an adventure that melds the natural wonders of New Zealand with its unique wildlife, look no further than the Waitomo Caves and Kiwi House Small Group Tour! This mesmerizing excursion promises a day of awe and excitement, perfect for nature lovers and thrill-seekers like me. Our group was small, so we all got to know each other while driving down to the cave. Huzefa was full of knowledge and made sure we had a great time. The moment with stepped into the Waitomo Caves, you're transported to a world of enchantment. These limestone caves, carved over millions of years, are adorned with stunning stalactites and stalagmites that create an otherworldly landscape. My highlight was the Kiwi Bird House. Here, you get to encounter New Zealand’s beloved national bird, the kiwi, in its natural habitat. Watching these nocturnal creatures forage and play is a rare treat, as they are typically elusive in the wild. The Kiwi House is dedicated to the conservation and breeding of these endangered birds, and your visit directly supports these vital efforts. I'm not going to ruin the surprise, but got to see the kiwi bird. It was a delight! Many Thanks, Huzefa!
