5.0Mike was friendly and knowledgeable and made the bus ride throughout the region lots of fun. The picture of the falls is a bit misleading because you don't get anywhere near them but view them from a distance. Also, the chocolate factory is just a view through the glass and a sample and you don't get a chance to help make any. It was absolutely delicious to sample though.
Terrific tour.

5.0Our guide Greg is extremely good at what he does and we had an excellent tour.The itinerary was varied including the cave, chocolate factory, ancient Kauri forest, waterfall, great commentary and more. It made the visit to Bay of Islands and I highly recommend it.
missed the glow worm caves out of Auckland and decided to do this as a taster. not well organised, very dissapointing.

3.0missed the knockout caves near Auckland and decided to do these to experience the glow worms. Not worth the money. very un-organized, large group, couldn't hear commentary at the back. dark as they ran out of lanterns.
