Embark on a fun-filled Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton tour from Auckland; discover Middle-Earth at the Hobbiton Movie Set (Hobbiton ticket price included), plus lunch at the famous Green Dragon Inn before journeying underground on a Waitomo Caves boat tour to see thousands of glowworms.

Enjoy the best of scenic New Zealand as you hop aboard your luxurious coach tour; cast your eyes over expanses of rolling farmland as your journey commences with entertaining commentary en route to your first stop - Hobbiton.

Just outside the rural town of Matamata is the Hobbiton Movie Set - a picturesque 1,250 acre farm where scenes from Lord of The Rings and Hobbit movie trilogies were filmed. On your Hobbiton tour, see the original Hobbit Holes and the Party Tree, and hear intriguing behind the scenes stories. After your fill of movie magic, it’ll be time to tuck into a buffet lunch (included) outside the famous Green Dragon Inn.

The adventure continues as we head west to the world-famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Marvel at the incredible network of underground tunnels and caves made from limestone formation as you set off for your Waitomo Caves boat tour into the magical Glowworm Grotto.

If Lord of the Rings had your eyes glued to the big screen and you’re a fan of awe-inspiring nature, then the Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton tour from Auckland is one of the best day trips New Zealand has to offer.
