Review of the Bay of Islands Glow Worm Caves tour, with Haruru Falls, kauri forest, chocolate tasting, cruise timing, and practical tips.

Review of Kona’s 3-hour Captain Cook snorkel cruise, with dolphins, sea caves, lunch, port pickup, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“This was my teenagers favorite excursion of our trip! The boat ride to and from the diving sight was beautiful. We saw a whale and tons of dolphins. The snorkeling was breathtaking. There were a lot of boats there, but we didn’t feel over crowded. The crew was excellent and made the trip extremely enjoyable.”
Review of Gibraltar’s 2-hour Rock, Shop and Caves shore excursion, with St. Michael’s Cave, macaques, views, guides, timing, and value.
“The whole tour was a bit rushed and disorganized. The lady that was at the meeting point did a poor job of separating and instructing the separate groups to the buses for the different vans. We were late getting started because our bus was late. That put us behind the rest of the trip and cut the stops short. The tour was still worth taking, but could have been better done with better results.”
