Join this tour to visit two of New Zealand’s most famous attractions, Hobbiton Movie Set and Waitomo Caves, in one easy day trip from Auckland. Our tour is the new extended Hobbiton Experience (now 2.5 hours) where you can venture beyond the door to a fully themed Hobbit Hole interior. Immerse yourself in the interior with entry hall, bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining area, equipped bathroom, parlour and crackling fireplace. Be fascinated as the magical world of Hobbiton comes to life and take photos in front of your favourite places like the Hobbit Holes, the Shire and the Green Dragon Inn. Then journey to the World Famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves and be captivated by the thousands of magical glowworms twinkling in the Grottos, the stalactites and stalagmites as you glide silently through the cave by boat. Marvel at the stunning scenery en route as we journey off the motorways into the real hinterland of New Zealand. All admission fees and cafe lunch included.

Auckland Central
After leaving Auckland you will travel south over the Bombay Hills as you get elevated panoramic views of the Waikato Region and travel across the scenic Hauraki Plains to Matamata, the home of Hobbiton Movie Set.
Hobbiton Movie Set
Begin with a tour through the picturesque 1,250 acre sheep farm with spectacular views across the Kaimai Ranges. Your guide will escort you through the 10 acre site recounting fascinating details of how the Hobbiton Movie Set was created. Hobbit Holes, The Green Dragon Inn, The Mill and other structures can be viewed and you will see how this beautiful piece of Waikato farmland was transformed into the Shire from Middle-earth. Visit and explore inside the newly built fully themed Hobbit Hole on Bagshot Row. Complimentary specially brewed beverages are available at the Green Dragon Inn as you complete your tour. Afterwards, enjoy a very classic light “Kiwi” style lunch at the "Homestead" and get to share stories from Hobbiton and interact with your fellow travellers.

5.00Great day out to Hobbiton and Waitomo caves with Matt our guide. We learnt so much about NZ too !
We enjoyed Hobbiton early in the day, and that made the cool cave another joy on this trip. Well done.

5.00With a limited stay in Auckland, this two experiences bundle was well worth it. Our driver/guide/host, Nelson, was excellent! The variety and quality of food available at our various stops was a pleasant surprise.
Going on an Adventure!

5.00We had a blast as we set forth on our very own adventure! This was designed for both those who have some familiarity with LOTR and for the diehard fans! Also, the glow worm cave has to be seen to be believed!
Excursion to Hobbiton + Waitomo Caves

5.00I loved it; keep in mind that it lasts about 12 hours. I recommend watching all three movies of The Lord of the Rings, wearing good footwear and warm clothing. In the caves, you cannot take photos or film; I bought the photos they sell. And to change things up, I bought a ton of things at the Hobbiton set shop, which by the way, the prices are affordable. Note that the excursion is in English, but you can download the Hobbiton app and read all the explanations in Spanish.
Best tour guide- Liam!!

5.00Liam was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide who was very personable and fun! Not only did he give us a mini tour and history lesson of the city but he made an excel sheet that was color coded by district of the city with his favorite near by restaurants and experiences! Any questions we had he answered and his conversation was very easy going and he was able to get everyone on our trip talking and connected with each other even though we were from all over the world. Thank you Liam!
