What to expect

This day tour from Auckland brings together two of the best attractions in New Zealand. The first is a tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set where you’ll get to walk around Middle Earth. Get to see and take pictures of locations where they shot scenes for ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogies. Hear fascinating stories from the shoot as well, and by the end of it, enjoy a drink at the Green Dragon Inn and indulge in a buffet lunch. Afterward, drive to the famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves where you will board a boat cruise. Sail along calm waters and observe the mysterious galaxy of worms. Make sure you listen to your English-speaking tour guide as they explain what makes these creatures glow. After that, enjoy some afternoon tea if you want on your way back to Auckland.

Review for: Hobbiton and Waitomo Join-in Tour

The local travel agency is great. The driver and tour guide are very attentive and professional. In addition to picking up and dropping off on time, they also arrange the itinerary very smoothly. Maybe everyone is really destined to meet each other thousands of miles away! On a whim, he treated every tourist on the bus to eat ice cream. It was really the best ice cream I have ever tasted. It was very humane. Thank you to the driver.

Is a pity that the weather is not on our side. It was raining when we were there, they do provide big umbrellas but you have to check as some were faulty. The buffet was not as good as we thought, also too rush to enjoy. Our driver was friendly and his driving was safe & smooth.

Review for: Hobbiton and Waitomo Join-in Tour

The tour guide is very energetic, he explained along the way, and took us to a secret place - Swingbridge. He answered every question and tried to match our shopping time. It is very recommended, and you can pick up and drop off at the hotel where you are staying, which is very convenient!

Review for: Hobbiton and Waitomo Join-in Tour

The guide was kind!! The schedule was well-organized, so there was no time wasted, which was nice. I had a buffet meal at Hobbiton, which wasn't very satisfying, but it was still edible🥲 On the way to Hobbiton, the guide stopped at rest areas so I could fill my stomach here and there!!

Review for: Hobbiton and Waitomo Join-in Tour

It was a lot of fun. The guide guided us the whole time, even on the bus. Hobbiton was a set just like the Lord of the Rings, and the Vikings were amazing. Waitomo was fun because we could see the fantastic glow worms.

Pick up at the hotel! Very convenient. The timing was great. The local travel agency does not need to pay extra for the tour guide per person per day
