Immerse in the beauty of the Shire
Embark on a captivating guided tour from Auckland to explore the enchanting Hobbiton Movie Set, Waitomo Glowworm Caves, and Te Puia. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide and a small group of fellow adventurers, delve into the essence of nature, culture, and cinema as you visit some of New Zealand's most renowned locations in a single day. Begin your day at Hobbiton, a sprawling 1250-acre farm that served as the backdrop for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film series. Wander past 44 whimsical hobbit dwellings, each adorned with intricate details like a quaint washing line or a flourishing garden. Cross the iconic double-arched bridge enveloped in lush greenery while absorbing fascinating anecdotes about the movie set from your guide. Pause at the cozy Green Dragon Inn to savor a unique ale or ginger beer from the Southfarthing Range next to a crackling fireside.
Discover the wonders of Waitomo's underground realm
Continue your adventure to the mystical Waitomo Caves, a surreal subterranean world showcasing ancient limestone formations sculpted over millennia. Glide through the serene Glowworm Grotto on a boat and witness the mesmerizing bioluminescent glowworms illuminating the cave ceiling like a celestial tapestry, offering a magical and serene encounter unlike any other.
Kindly refrain from taking photos or videos in Waitomo Caves to avoid disturbing the glowworms. Their natural glow could be affected, taking up to 2 hours to restore fully.
