Like the other reviewers, this trip with Paul was the highlight of our trip! He is a very intelligent and experienced guide, offering a personalised experience for those that want something a little more special. It is a real shame that Trip Advisor does not rank him in the Waitomo Cave region as he would easily be the top attraction... More

This was definitely the most adventurous and exciting tour we did while in New Zealand! Paul (our tour guide - also geologist) was an amazing guide. He was interesting, patient, safe, funny, and most importantly was passionate about what we did. You have to do this one if your into adventure ( rock climbing, Abseiling, caving, and geology) and of... More

So when something already has close to 60 "excellent" reviews, I'm not sure how helpful it is to write another one ... but this really was one of the top experiences of our two-week trip to New Zealand, and it definitely deserves all of these positive reviews! I'll try to include some specific comments that might not be in other... More

My sister and I had a fabulous day this week with Paul exploring the amazing cave system on private land not far from the caves which the commercial tours go to. For less cost per hour than the big group commercial tour we did the day before Paul tailored our private tour just for the two of us exactly to... More

WOW! What a way to see New Zealand from underground. This is definitely the highlight of our trip. Paul was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgable about the geology and the glow worms. There was just two of us with Paul, and a small group allowed Paul to tailor the tour to suit our fitness level, needs, and timeframe.... More

The trip with Paul was unbelievable especially since Paul was so friendly and knowledable. My wife and I were able to choose whatever we wanted to do and not feel rushed. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a personalized experience to the glow worm caves....and my wife thought the outfits were cute for some reason

We wanted to go on a glow worm cave tour but were a little turned off by the commercial look of so many of the ads. We found Green Glow's website and thought we would give them a try. We feel so fortunate to find them. Think of it like a backstage pass and private tour of his private cave.... More

The best adventure we booked in NZ. I really like, that Paul does not mix different groups and only accepts one booking at a time. This makes the whole tour a *very* personal experience that is absolutely customized to the group. For us, this tour was an awesome mixture of climbing, photography and seeing glowworms! If you want to go... More

We arrived for our adventure of viewing glow worms and abseiling. When I booked this tour, I had no idea what either was, but the reviews sounded great so I thought we should give it a whirl. Paul (the Caveman--said in jest) met us at noon for our 6 hour adventure. We were provided tights, coats, boots, and what appeared... More

During our time in New Zealand we really wanted to go on our first caving trip ever. Had been looking around and found good reviews on the small, independent Green Glow Eco Adventures. Combined with the best 'price per hour' and the fact that this would be a private tour we booked a half day trip. We had a fabulous... More
