    Hobbiton was an amazing experience, even if you aren’t a LOTR fan, the scenery is gorgeous. Loved seeing the glowworms. It was a well organized and comfortable trip.

    At the time, there were undergoing repairs and newer construction at Hobbiton. Other than that, the experience was very nice. Waitomo was very beautiful and had no complaints. Our bus driver, Todd was a great source of information and helpful in every way.

  • Very interesting tour!

    the cave was super cool! there is no amount of photos you can view that can describe the experience, you gotta see it for yourself! Hobbiton experience is also super neat! and our driver was super cool! the food was meh, I would rather just get my own food to be honest, lol. overall it is excellent experience still
