The tour to both the caves and Hobbiton were fantastic. Its a long day, 12 hours, so buckle up, but well worth it. Rachel, our tour leader (and bus driver) was great, highly knowledgeable about Kiwi culture, and conversational which helped make the long rides go by faster. Highly recommend this trip!
Worthwhile!

Great bus tour that “launches” from the Auckland us Terminal by Sky Tower. The driver Rachel was fab. So many relatable stories as we drove through the countryside. Box lunch was delicious. Never felt rushed on any of the tours. Definitely the highlight of my Auckland trip!
