Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from Auckland city, setting the stage for an exciting day. As you journey westward through the stunning Waikato region, you'll be treated to panoramic views of rolling hills and majestic mountains, perfect for capturing memorable photos.
The first stop is the ancient Waitomo Caves. As you arrive, prepare to be amazed by the spectacular limestone formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and lime columns. A guided tour takes you deep into the caves, leading to the Glowworm Grotto. Here, you'll board a boat for a serene cruise through the grotto, where thousands of glowworms create a mesmerizing, starry display overhead—a truly unique and magical experience.
After your underground adventure, the tour heads towards the Alexander Family Sheep Farm and Shire's Rest, the gateway to Hobbiton. Here, you'll be welcomed by the sight of sheep grazing across picturesque hills. Take a moment to enjoy a meal, coffee, or ice cream while your guide prepares your entry to the Hobbiton Movie Set.
Next, board one of the iconic green Hobbiton buses for a 2.5-hour guided tour of this enchanting 12-acre film set. Led by an expert guide, explore 44 charming hobbit holes, stroll through vibrant gardens, and uncover behind-the-scenes stories from the making of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" films. Your Hobbiton adventure concludes with a refreshing drink at the famous Green Dragon Inn, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the magical world of Middle-earth.
As you make your way back to Auckland, enjoy views of New Zealand's longest river, the Huntly power station, and the Maori Queen's burial site, capping off a day filled with both cinematic wonder and natural beauty.
