Join this tour to visit two of New Zealand’s most famous attractions, Hobbiton Movie Set and Waitomo Caves, in one easy day trip from Auckland. Our tour is the new extended Hobbiton Experience (now 2.5 hours) where you can venture beyond the door to a fully themed Hobbit Hole interior. Immerse yourself in the interior with entry hall, bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining area, equipped bathroom, parlour and crackling fireplace. Be fascinated as the magical world of Hobbiton comes to life and take photos in front of your favourite places like the Hobbit Holes, the Shire and the Green Dragon Inn. Then journey to the World Famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves and be captivated by the thousands of magical glowworms twinkling in the Grottos, the stalactites and stalagmites as you glide silently through the cave by boat. Marvel at the stunning scenery en route as we journey off the motorways into the real hinterland of New Zealand. All admission fees and cafe lunch included.

One day. Two worlds you won't find anywhere else. Above ground, step into the storybook setting of Hobbiton Movie Set, where rolling green hills and tiny Hobbit holes bring Middle-earth to life. Then head underground into the darkness of Waitomo, where thousands of glowworms turn the caves into a natural night sky. With lunch included and the journey taken care of, this is an easy way to fit two very different New Zealand experiences into one day from Auckland. While the destinations you will be visiting are spectacular, we at Cheeky Kiwi Travel believe it is our small groups, our guides, the journey and the little details that set our tours well apart. Led by our passionate tour guides, notorious for bringing your journey to life, sharing their stories and background knowledge, and run in modern minibuses packed with extras ensuring your comfort and safety.

Be amazed by the thousands of magical glowworms above on this 45-minute group guided tour, as you glide silently by boat in the world famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Many of the current guides are descendants of the Maori chief who originally explored the cave and can share with you the remarkable history of the area. Guided since the late 1880s, this is the original, iconic New Zealand attraction.

Посетите очаровательные пещеры светлячков Вайтомо для 45-минутной экскурсии по этому подземному чуду, где вы увидите сталактиты, сталагмиты и сверкающих светлячков. Затем отправляйтесь к скрытой жемчужине недалеко от поселка Матамата, съемочной площадке Хоббитон, которая является всемирно известным местом съемок фильмов «Властелин колец» и «Хоббит». Посмотрите на норы хоббитов и узнайте, как эта частная ферма стала Средиземьем. Вы также сможете заглянуть за дверь в настоящую нору хоббитов на Бэгшот-роу. В конце этой экскурсии вы сможете насладиться бесплатным напитком в таверне «Зеленый дракон».

New Zealand’s most remarkable landscapes aren’t always found in plain sight. Journey from Auckland to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, where thousands of tiny lights illuminate an underground world hidden beneath the hills of the Waikato. Then continue to Rotorua and Te Puia to experience steaming geothermal landscapes, powerful geysers, and the living Māori culture of Aotearoa. From the hidden world beneath Waitomo to the spectacular forces shaping Rotorua above ground, experience a side of New Zealand that goes far beyond the scenery. While the destinations you will be visiting are spectacular, we at Cheeky Kiwi Travel believe it is our small groups, our guides, the journey and the little details that set our tours well apart.
