• Waikato Region - Leaving Auckland, we head south through the picturesque Waikato countryside, the world’s largest farming area, where you’ll encounter stunning landscapes, powerful rivers, great photo opportunities, impressive mountains, and various farm animals along the way.
• Hobbiton Movie Set - Upon arriving at ‘Hobbiton,’ you’ll board one of the iconic green Hobbiton buses for a two-and-a-half-hour fully guided tour of this incredible 12-acre movie set. A professional Hobbiton guide will ensure you make the most of your visit. During the tour, you’ll step into the lush pastures of the Shire, visit 44 hobbit holes, see beautiful gardens, hear behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the movies, and enjoy a complimentary cold beverage at the famous Hobbiton pub, ‘The Green Dragon Inn.’
• Auckland - Unfortunately, we must head back north, but your day isn’t over yet. Enjoy a fully guided return trip to Auckland with surprise stops along the way. Depending on the weather and timing, our guides love making additional surprise stops. Perhaps a scenic stop near a lake or a chance to try New Zealand ice cream—we love introducing you to local wildlife and animals. You’ll have to join the tour to see where we go!
