Overview
A private day south to the Waitomo limestone country. The classic Glowworm Caves tour ends with a silent boat glide beneath thousands of glowworms; you can add Ruakuri or Aranui if you want more cave time. We break the drive with coffee and a scenic Waikato stop each way.
Private car and driver for up to 12 hours (return to Auckland) with unlimited kilometres. Stop wherever you like, linger longer at one spot, skip another, or change plans on the day.
Highlights

⇄Round trip — you start and finish at Auckland. Numbers 2 onwards are the stops along the way.
This route is a suggestion, not a timetable
- Booking this trip doesn't lock you into these exact places. On the day you can ask your driver to skip a stop, linger longer somewhere, or head somewhere else entirely.
- The one thing we do need to keep is where you're picked up and where you finish — those stay as booked.
- Your booked time still applies (9 hours for this trip). Your driver has to get home too, so anything beyond that needs to be arranged and paid for in advance.
Price covers the private vehicle, driver and fuel. Activity tickets (e.g. Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, geothermal parks) are the customer's responsibility.
