Overview

Experience two North Island icons on a day tour from Auckland. Travel south from Auckland to Hobbiton. On arrival at Shireā€™s Rest you embark on your Hobbiton Movie Set tour. You see 44 hobbit holes, the Mill and double arch bridge and the Party Tree. At this stunning location you can take a photo at the gate to Bilboā€™s house, ā€œBag Endā€. Finish with a visit to the Green Dragon Inn for a drink. Following your drink, you will be treated to a sumptuous buffet lunch in the marquee & some time to shop before continuing on to Waitomo. On arrival in Waitomo, join a 45 minute guided tour of the incredible Waitomo Glow Worm caves. Enjoy the delicate cave formations and be wowed in the Cathedral, before taking the iconic boat rode through the glow worm grotto (subject to water levels). Marvel in silence at thousands of magical glow worms. Return to Auckland in the early evening. *tours at both Hobbiton and Waitomo join larger groups*
