Experience two of New Zealand’s most iconic attractions on this small group day tour to the Hobbiton Movie Set and Waitomo Glowworm Caves. This adventure blends the magic of Middle-earth with the natural wonder of glowworm-lit caves, offering a perfect mix of cinematic history and breathtaking nature.
Your day begins with pick-up from your Auckland City accommodation, followed by a scenic drive with full commentary from your experienced guide. The first stop is a cozy café, where you can grab a quick snack or coffee before heading to Hobbiton. Once there, a specialist guide will lead you on a walking tour through the 44 Hobbit Holes, where you’ll see the Party Tree and stand at Bilbo Baggins’ house, Bag End, overlooking the picturesque Shire.
A highlight of the tour is the chance to explore inside a Hobbit Hole, where you can try out a hobbit-sized bed, sit at the dining table, and admire the incredible attention to detail. Before indulging in a sumptuous buffet lunch at the Party Marquee, enjoy a complimentary ale, cider, or ginger beer at the Green Dragon Inn.
After lunch, the tour continues through beautiful countryside to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. An expert guide will lead you through limestone formations and share fascinating facts about the caves’ history. The tour concludes with an unforgettable boat ride through the glowworm grotto, where thousands of glowworms illuminate the cave ceiling, creating a magical, starry spectacle.
