    Get away from Auckland for the day by taking this guided tour to Hobbiton Movie Set, Waitomo Glowworm Caves, and Te Puia. With an expert guide and just a small group of fellow nature, culture, and film enthusiasts, experience some of New Zealand’s most iconic sites in a single day. Your day begins at Hobbiton, a 1250-acre farm home to the famous set of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film series. Spend your time walking past 44 charming hobbit holes with unique details like a washing line or a blooming garden or walking on the double-arched bridge with lush greenery on either side, listening to your guide give interesting trivia about the movie set. Make a stop at the rustic Green Dragon Inn where you can enjoy a specially brewed ale or ginger beer from their Southfarthing Range while staying warm by the crackling fireside.

    Step into a mystical underground world at Waitomo

    The adventure continues to the otherworldly Waitomo Caves, where you can discover a stunning underground world of limestone formations formed millions of years ago. Take a serene boat ride through the Glowworm Grotto to see the bioluminescent glowworms lighting up the dark cave ceiling like a starry sky, creating a magical and tranquil experience like no other.
