Curious to see but disappointed with the price

3.00I was disappointed because I thought we were walking by boat in a string of caves with glowworms and I had seen pictures with boat but we got in a rubber boat that moved by the guide who pulls on a cable and makes 8 AR in the cave The show remains very curious to see but it was not what I thought The other cave is more classical with stalagmite and staclactite and as the name is not given in the program I thought it would be the one in stairs with glowworms but no it was a cave without glowworms and there are some in the Vercors in France more beautiful bcp
Great tour but be warned about TripAdvisor deceptive charging in the booking process

3.00I joined the tour( which had started in Auckland) on the outskirts of Hamilton. This meant arranging transport to the pickup point and a longer wait because of traffic uncertainties. The drive and driver (Dean) were good, countryside beautiful. The viewing of the caves was well organised with different vehicles and helpful staff. The glow worms showed up well, the moa bones interesting and cave formations (stalactites, stalacmites etc ) explained. However these were not as spectacular in form and colours as I have seen in other limestone caves (eg. Tasmania). I would have given a higher rating for the tour except for the deceptive way that I was charged. This was not the fault of the company who ran the tour but rather was the way TripAdvisor made the booking. The cost of the tour was quoted as $172 NZD and I made the booking through TripAdvisor believing this to be the case. However at some point in the payment process this was changed to $171 but now in USD which meant I ended up paying $304NZD for a tour which should have cost me $172NZD. I have contacted TripAdvisor but they responded that it was my fault for not noticing the change in currency and did not offer any refund. Hence I urge any travellers making bookings through TripAdvisor to be very careful and watch out for currency changes.
