I had an incredible time on this tour! The Hobbiton movie set was even more magical in person, and our guide shared fascinating insights into the filming process. A must-do for any LOTR fan! The Waitomo Caves were simply breathtaking, with thousands of glowing glowworms illuminating the underground caverns.

It will start with a Maori parent, who will briefly introduce the Maori greetings, and then watch the boating performance on the moving river, and then watch the welcome program. It has a strong Maori culture, and the gesture of widening the eyes and sticking out the tongue is the signature of the Maori people. . Finally, we ended with a Hangi-style dinner.

At the beginning, you have to wait at Shire Coffee. A group will leave every ten minutes. You must arrive on time. A staff member will lead you to introduce each scene that appears in the movie. You may have the opportunity to visit the house.

Just scan the barcode and use it, very convenient! Because we were buying a Maori war dance performance at the same time, the park tour guide would pay attention to the time and was very considerate.

The tour guide explains carefully, the traffic is smooth, the shuttle bus leaves on time, the scenery is pleasant, and there are three drinks for tourists to choose from at the end of the trip. I will recommend this trip to my friends, thumbs up!
