Auckland Day trips

The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was fascinating to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes details of the set. The scenery was stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take memorable photos. The comfortable luxury van made the journey relaxing and pleasant, allowing us to sit back and take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

I've visited almost all the attractions around Rotorua, such as Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, Blue Spring, Huka Falls, and Lake Taupo. What left the deepest impression were Blue Spring and Huka Falls, with their incredibly pristine water and air quality. I really loved these two spots.

very lovely tour giving us enough time to explore and we even arrived early back in auckland. Our driver and guide made the trip so much more enjoyable and filled us in on interesting insights along the way, will come back again with family!

Really enjoyed the experience. Smooth van transfers to and from the Hobbiton site from Auckland and the vehicle is really comfortable. The tour guide on the hobbiton tour is really knowledgeable that you get to experience the full movie yourself. The movie set is unbelievably amazing and looks just like the movie.

The Hobbiton Movie Set Tour was one of the best tours I have ever experienced and was absolutely worth it. The tour itself was well organized, and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of the experience. However, I was disappointed with the way tour cancellations were handled. My Rotorua tour was cancelled at a very late stage, which was unfortunate, especially since I had only planned to spend three days in Auckland. The late cancellation made it difficult to adjust my itinerary and arrange an alternative activity. Despite this setback, I truly enjoyed my visit to Hobbiton, and it was the highlight of my trip.

Brad was an excellent guide. I often get stomach aches and motion sickness, but he made sure to have regular restroom breaks, and his driving was smooth with no sudden stops, which made me feel very comfortable. Of course, the scenery, the Hobbiton tour, and the glowworm tour were all wonderful. Even though I'm not very good at English, it was a small group tour, so everyone was friendly, and I had a great time.

My family and I had a great time exploring the hobbiton Movie Set. David the driver/guide is super friendly and humorous. Buffet lunch was great! Overall experience is fantastic!

It was the best tour of my life. Jason was kind and gentle, and he taught my child a lot. His humor always brought happiness to our van. His explanations were always enjoyable and easy to understand. The child even said we want to go on a tour with him next time. At Kiwi House, I wouldn’t know anything without his explanation. My choice is perfect. I recommend Jason to everyone. She said 'Jason is the best!!'.

【I can definitely give this 5 stars】I highly recommend this tour. However, be prepared for a long drive. It takes about two to two and a half hours to reach the Cathedral Cove parking area, and then another 30-minute walk to get down to Cathedral Cove itself. The 30-minute walk there is fine, but the return trip is quite tiring. You'll spend about one to two hours at the beach. You can check the water temperature and weather to decide if you want to go for a swim; I recommend it. Second, Hot Water Beach is a lot of fun! Everyone digs in the sand with tools to create their own hot spring pools, and the water is genuinely hot—it's very interesting! Third, the tour guide will share fascinating stories and information about New Zealand's plants and trees throughout the journey. Fourth, there are no Chinese-speaking services here. If your English listening and speaking skills aren't strong, you should prepare a translation app. If your English isn't good, you'll miss out on a lot of the fun.
